“What’s In A Name?”*

“What’s in a name?” Could Juliet inform Americans?

Joe, not “Joseph,” is a friend, the guy next door, on your bowling league, drives a Kia.  Donald, not “Don,” is your boss, lives in a gated community, belongs to the country club, owns Mercedes and BMWs but has a chauffeur.

For me the great mystery is, why do America’s Joes mistrust Joe and worship Donald?
