The Glucose Fire
a: Glucose ~
b: fire
What: "Blood glucose is like a "fire within us" that gives us energy. We must keep the flame lit, but we also want it to be controlled, "a friendly fire," and not a blazing fire that is out of control." Yes another comparison to fire. The key point of the comparison is balance; too little is not good, but neither is too much. This is applicable to so much of life

a: government ~
b: the market
What:
"For this school of thought, the government is like the market, with politicians responsive to voters for the same reason that businesses are responsive to consumers. Voters, like consumers, are kings. There is no room for any notion of concentrated power in any model based on free-market economic theory."
