US Census

[Clipper]

That is exactly what I give them also Ralph. I answer only the question of how many people live in the residence, what gender they are, and our US born citizenship. That is all they need to know about us. Two American born folks with a dog, living in a house on a street in Tennessee.

Marital status, ethnicity, religious preference, party affiliation and other NOSEY inquiries are not answered on my form. To me the census is strictly a count. That is all that is necessary to determine population numbers for districting etc.

If they need to know more about ME, all they have to do is become a member of Clipper's Busy Corner and read back into the archived posts, haha.

OMG! Then we'll all be in jail! ;D

Worse scenario..................Clipper will be my cell-mate.

Heck Bobbbiez, by the time they read all of OUR posts, especially my long and verbose postings, they would be working on the NEXT census and the up and coming census would be long completed, haha.

Nope! Actually you could have left out one of the smiley faces and the parentheses.

ps: Good effort though. ;D

I hope Gear researches whether we can go to jail after answering only the questions we choose (both regular census and the American Survey). I suspect we will be culpable.

And do the 912'ers have a position on the Census?

In the words of an old commercial, "Mikey won't like it. He hates everything."
