Black... I agree there are a lot of agencies that are guilty of sculduggery, ACORN being only one.
Ever heard the old cliché, "You can catch more flies with honey"? I just look at comparing the methods of ACORN and Habitat For Humanity. ACORN's militant, defiant and thuggish demeanor is a real turn off for those of us who try to work within the system (and not game it) compared to Habitat. The goal is to get people into affordable housing. Strident, activism is one way. Rolling up your sleeves and swinging a hammer is another. My preference is the latter.
