Bird Brains Appropriated Their Organization Name from EMS Doctors?

Since 1998, there has been an annual gathering of Emergency Physicians. And since 1999 or 2000, this conference has been called "A Gathering of Eagles".

The physicians did not make up this noble name themselves. No, it was given to them by the press since the work they do is so important for public safety and well-being -- pretty much the opposite of the 'work' done by the bird brains.

Could it be that the bird brains just appropriated the name when trying to come up with a fine-sounding name for their group? It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

And, if true, the bird brains will probably whine that the 'name wasn't trademarked' or that 'we didn't know'. If you see that, you should know that the EMS organization shows up prominently in web searches. For example, it was in position #7 in a Google search this morning, but its position was likely much higher before the bird brains started mouthing off and stifling free speech by stealing banners and beating up protesters.

It is exceedingly bad form to appropriate a name even if it's not copyrighted nor trademarked. It looks as if bird brains are trying to appropriate the good reputation the EMS physicians have built. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
