Well, some interesting facts, this census mirrors the 1790 census about what type of questions are asked. Of course we all know that there were no apartments or mobile homes in 1790, but I really didnt think the census questions were intrusive at all. Number of people, ages, DOB, race, basic questions. Nothing that I would think the government would be able to use to come and "Get Me" LOL... The only thing that I wish is that there would have been more selections for race. See, to be politically correct, I like to list my race as German-Irish-American. I do this not because I am from the old country, nor were my parents or grandparents, or even great-grandparents. Buy way back when my fathers family came from Germany, and my mothers family came from Ireland, so technically I am German-Irish-American. Just like the black man, oh wait excuse me, the African-American, would like to be listed as for their race.

Anyway, the census was fine, read the Constitution, and many other Supreme Court of the United States rulings over the years, that the census in it's form is completely Constitutional.

Answering question one as per the Constitution.
Instructing my wife and daughter to refer all questions to me.
They won't be giving out any info.
I have no home phone so I'm not expecting any calls.

I think I screwed up on the origin question because of the way it was worded.
My wife always thought she was mexican but after figuring it out she was actually more Irish because of her mom being full Irish American. Father was Spanish Mexican and Native American descent.
after figuring out all the percentages she got mad because I called her a white girl because the percentages break down to... half Irish, quarter mexican, and twelve and a half Native American and twelve and a half Spanish descent.

So is she white or hispanic?
If it turns out I didn't marry a latina hotty can I sue for false representation? lol

Oh well if they fine or arrest me over confusion so be it.

She is afraid they are coming to deport her...lol

Oh, man, PLEASE do that...

"Uh... apparently we've got like, a few thousand people stuck in Afghanistan somewhere."

"Non-military?"

"Ted, damn it, you know full well it doesn't ask whether they're military or not!"

"Just asking."

2 people in the residence, the rest is racist, intrusive, sexist, and private.

 

[JetGirl]

Question #1. That's it.

But, I've been instructed to answer #9 with "Indy 500".

 

[tenring]

Don't forget the race of the second is the Daytona 500.

 

[Eddie]

UH OH... someone's off the grid

...he typed on the Internet...

 

[CountryBoy19]

I filled out question #1 and then the race question just for kicks. I said that I was "American" in the "other" category.

 

[SSGSAD]

We got the short form, so it was filled out and mailed in....

 

[Fletch]

I had it sitting on my desk, and my wife got into one of her OCD moods and went through everything and filled it out without talking to me about it.

*shrug*

They've already got my fingerprints, address, SSN, etc. on file, so whatever.

That. Is not. The point.

(But you know that already...)
