So, I drive 75 miles to the "local" library and fill out applications and other paper work..then take the U.S. CENSUS BUREAU TEST...and get a 98% (only after I had to point out to the person correcting it.that she made a mistake in SUBTRACTION)...AND then I was told to follow up in 10 days-15days.
I followed up and I was told that "we have NO record of you being there or taking a test...
Said to call back later...call back couple days later and oh...we have a sign in sheet that shows you were there...."what were you there for"?
HUH...like I was there to take the test and I filled out the application and took the test etc....by this time I am really wondering how the U.S. GOV'T. expects to handle the 2010 census and can't even find applications/tests for census workers.

I have worked as a census supervisior 2x before and a locator once before.

But, these folks think they are competent...

So, she says " keep checking back maybe it will turn up....I am thinking you are a 'turnip'"..
Oh, maybe have to retake it later if it offered in my area again....

What b........s.......

Stay tuned...
sin FOR HW

Song, I am in agreeance with you on that subject, the government by far is not as smart as they seem to want us to believe. You don't have to be a lawyer to be stupid.

All you have to do is take a look at the Fanny Fae and Freddy Mac boondoggle in the mortgage scam, er, industry. What a colossal mess!

Pretty soon, they'll be in our homes telling us what sexual positions we can and cannot use.
I think that's a religious thing and soon it will be government.

That is the way they want it to go. The government is not wanting us to have any say so at all.
If you ever watched a movie with Arnold called Total Recall you will see how we are going to be in the near future. One banking system so the government can control how we live. Just look at your lic. and see the strip on the back, it tells the police and others how you live, where you live what your medical background is etc. i know that this is not the only movie that shows this, but if they made it on the screen it is not to far out there that it is going to be that way in the future.

If you are a member of the military, they already do. According to the UCMJ, the missionary position is the only one allowed. Not sure how often that has been enforced though.

The words "missionary position" are not even in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). You are probably thinking of Article 125 where it deals with "unnatural acts". And if you think that any sexual act other than the missionary position is unnatural, then well, you might think the myth is true.

Look it up in the UCMJ...
