Unless it's their smug ignorance, that is.
Nice trolling job.

the last census whacko that came by my house stood outside my door for 30 minutes, then when I finally went outside(I forgot she was out there..lol), she pops out from behind my tree like a jilted squirrel talking about "I knew somebody was in there hehe.." annoying as hell. then I remember questions like:

1. how many people live here?
2. do you have any dogs?
3. how many people drive cars?
4. does everybody that live here work day or night?


just to name a few. I kindly told her no thanks and got in my car. I know she felt stupid after standing there 30 minutes and then dropping her canned speech on me follwd by her very personal questions.

How I know she won't pass my info to some thug to come case my house?

That would have been back in 2000?

Wasn't home then.....and probably won't be home now.

Maybe in 2020?

Not likely though.

Amazing.
Considering all of those things except defense should be done on a local level, yes it IS amazing that our government has become so centralized and enormous. NOT what the Founding Fathers intended.

It should be one question: How many people live here. PERIOD

How to fill out a census form this year.

Is that a trick question?

Completely, of course. Ten very easy, straightforward questions ... certainly nothing there that would confuse or otherwise confound any of the brilliant people on the politics forum, right?

Fill it out - it's the Constitutional thing to do.

Gene, should people who harbor illegal aliens in their household include them in the household count?

I think the "savings" or "rewards" cards at grocery stores are much scarier than the census. I don't want nobody knowing what brand of toilet paper I prefer. It ain't their business.
