A rose by any other name

There was an article in the Examiner on the 21st of June about ACORN and their ‘new name.”

When I first started to write about this I thought well I do not know anything about ACORN. My second thought was – who does? And that is the way this organization wants it to be.

Ok, so what is an acorn? It is a small nut which once planted grows into a huge oak tree. This little nut is planted deep and is unseen by the human eye. The huge tree that grows is seen, but has many branches and some are obscured by other branches. This large tree drops nuts to the ground that are planted and the cycle continues.
