		<description>The worst problem with ACORN is their disregard for common sense. Sure, their objectives are to &quot;help those who have historically been locked out become powerful players in our democratic system&quot; (from their website). In reality, however, they end up supporting whoever will give them the most money from those that have the most power. Not only is this generally against the best interest of those &quot;that have been locked out&quot; of the system, it also sets up &quot;power&quot; as the most important factor of success. 

Historically, democracy is a system of government that focuses on the &quot;rule of the people.&quot; Although there is no such thing as the &quot;perfect form of government,&quot; no other form of government places a higher net worth on moral values over temporal values than does democracy. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, any other form of government produces even less desirable results than democracy. 

Until today, no other form of government has implemented common sense better than democracy. In fact, democracy is the very principle that allows ACORN to do what they claim they are trying to do! However, since ACORN is working so hard to establish &quot;money&quot; and &quot;power&quot; as their primary objectives, common sense tells us that these should be the very problems that ACORN would be trying to destroy!.</description>
