U.S. Census

[Halo]

Six-page foldout for zillion-person households. Received and completed same day.    

How many communities are zoned for a dozen people in one household? Wonder what the final credibility rating is of any census.

I thought the notice that it was coming was a big waste of money...but I got it today and it was surprisingly pain-free...did it in 5 mins.   I LOLed that 3/4 of the packet was the option to count up to 12 people in a household...

Hey, i FULLY intend to respond! Honesty on the response, however, is not specifically required...

don't forget multi colored crayolas.

Actually, I believe the fine for lying on the form is several times larger then the fine for not responding.  But it has been quite awhile since anyone actually got fined I think.

Those who feel civic responsibility will obey that sentence. 

Besides, not answering doesn't do you any good, it would only serve to ensure your local area is underrepresented.

well, i can't help if i'm somewhat paranoid.
 i do apologize if that offends you in any way, but it is what it is.

 they want to know too much. they need to know only one thing....which means only 1 question.

 how many people in this household?  nothing more.
 they don't need to know what i do for a living, what i eat for breakfast, when the last time i farted was, what kind of car i drive, when i last farted in my car that they don't need to know about......nothing.

I'm with Cap on that one, all they need is total Family living in the home and race, nothing else is there business, to much as it is already.

problem is you fill the form out and send it in, there still going to be knocking on your door in person to ask you the same questions, now what a waste of money that is    there hiring for those postions all over

If you send in the form, there will not be a person knocking at your door to ask the same questions. Or, at least that is the way it works here in Western Missouri.

Zoom they don't even need to know race, remember, we're all just people, color dosen't make a difference.

I don't think they even need race........we're all people. skin color is(or should be) irrelevant, as should being german, british, spanish, chinese, etc......if you're an American citizen, then you're an American.

 i can't for the life of me understand why this is so friggin hard for anyone to understand.

It's very important to racists.

I will guarantee ya they come knocking on my door...they better have a warrant or court order if they want anything more than the answer provided on the form....and even then I wouldn't give it to them...all they would get is my "Fifth"...
