You know in "The Wizard of Oz" how Dorothy ends up in "Munchkin-land"? What is that about? I mean, why on earth would vertically challenged individuals actually call
themselves "munchkins"? Surely, this is a term that can only be applied to a race that is vertically short IN COMPARISON to a taller race. If they had no contact with taller peoples, why would they call themselves "short"? They are not short! They are a perfectly acceptable size.
AND, assuming they did know about taller races (witches and things) why would they use such a derogatory term to describe their own civilization? Munchkinland? Smacks of Disney propoganda to me!
I really need to stop procrastinating like this.
