The Ama Is Like A Guild System
a: The ama ~
b: a guild system
What: "But let us consider where licensing came from. Licensing for doctors came from the AMA. The AMA was a means to limit doctors from competition by restricting their supply. The AMA is like a guild system. They are a monopoly that controls licensing, indeed, they were even sued for anti-trust violations. "

The Ama Is Like A Medieval Guild
a: The ama ~
b: a medieval guild
What: From the linked document: The AMA is like a "medieval guild," according to Dr. James Howard Means, former Harvard professor of clinical medicine. He told the Group Health Association-which expressed support of health care under social security-the AMA strives to preserve the status quo in medical affairs and has done "very little toward the improvement of medical care."

The Ama Is Like A Plague
a: The ama ~
b: a plague
What: "Gravity, artificially increasing demand and restricting supply, crowding out natural demand and supply, in a supply-side economy, has its uses. The AMA is like a plague. Next up, the big show - the cartel articulation through education indoctrination, secular definition of divine providence, and religious war."

The AMA is like Kmart...
a: The AMA ~
b: Kmart
What: "I received the following spam from the American Medical Association. It is beyond embarrassing. If the AMA truly felt they were performing such good service on behalf of doctors, they shouldn't have to peddle themselves at half price like some cheap linen sale at Kmart." I guess he believes it's too much of a marketing based organization.

The fluid Oligarchy that is al Qaeda ?
a: Osama bin Laden ~
b: The Pope
What: "I like to think of it this way: Osama bin Laden is like the Pope. In which, there are many Cardinals and Bishops who act independently all the time and only need to seek higher authority in minute cases."
Interesting comment. Of course the Popes haven't been into explicitly murdering their enemies since The Reformation.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
