An analogy is a partial similarity between the like features of two
things or events on which a comparison can be made.
A false analogy involves comparing two things that are NOT similar.
Note that the two things may be similar in superficial ways, but not
with respect to what is being argued.

* If Montana got equally as much money as New York (per capita) for
homeland security, a bomb disposal truck in Montana would be about the
size of a Mini Cooper.
