The allegory falls apart only if you try to connect the two separate issues
(below), which I admit is implied in Squalidozzi's lament:
1. Free Range Vs. Property/Progress
2. Genocide of the Indians
Squalidozzi is fully aware of his guilt. I think he harkens back to a time
of openess and freedom and guiltlessness (which probably never existed).
