Over the years I've heard the same about the other AMAs, what does that Amercian Motorcycle Association offer motorcycle riders? What does the American Medical Association offer Dr.s, American Metallurgical Association, American Management Association what can they do for their members?

Or from Gun owners, what does the NRA offer me?

And it goes on and on. . . . as a society develops the every individual for himself philosophy - until they eventually find themselves on the short end of the stick and then cry for help.

IMHO these organizations, just like the AMA, would enhance their standing by setting the bar a bit higher as to who THEY would allow to join, asking what they can contribute to the organization? [>:]
