This is an excelent expose on the census and what the Census people are trying to get from us.http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/2927/VIDEO-The-Census-Is-Getting-Personal
Just had the census taker here at the house. I had the long form - which was the shortest long form I’ve ever seen. No questions about income, toilets, rooms in the house, nothing - except for my name, the number of people in my house, and our race and ethnicity.
I politely told them that I wouldn’t answer any questions about my race or ethnicity. I told them it was none of their damn business.
They conversed about what to do, then wrote “refused” under that part of the form.
My alternative would have been to lie. I don’t normally lie as a policy, but in this case, it wouldn’t have bothered me to tell them that I was a Vulcan-human hybrid.
I’m going to tell them I am an Appalachian-American.
I could all tell them I am native American because this is the country of my birth, I am native to the US
Thanks. I’m adding this to my favorites.
You Too??????!!!!!
I will put homo sapien.
>>>I politely told them that I wouldn’t answer any questions about my race or ethnicity.
You should have written-in “Human” for race.
I’m simply going to put “American”.
>>>I’m going to tell them I am an Appalachian-American.<<<
Best of luck! LOL
Your people have been victimized for far too long by those living on flat land.
I remember the last Census questionnaire- it was filled with intrusive questions that were none of anybody’s damn business and far exceeded the originally-intended scope of the Census’ mandate. I don’t remember exactly how it went, but I remember a lot of personal interaction and it wasn’t fun for either of us.
I had a job application form once, many many years ago that was even worse, if you can believe that. Amongst the blizzard of jaw-dropping questions was a demand that I identify by make, model and serial number any firearms that I owned.
No- it wasn’t some heavyweight security clearance job. It was for the position of manager of a convenience store in California.
I probably still have the application in a box somewhere. I didn’t complete the form. They called me back after an interview to continue the process. I politely declined. The person I spoke with knew that it was the application that made me do so.
Mine came on Friday afternoon.
He got confused because of some address issues and drove away but then came back.
The second time I saw him in the driveway, I went out to greet him.
He thanked me for clarifying the address issue. But he added "I think I would be afraid if a stranger came out and I lived in this remote place".
I told him I had no reason to be afraid because I was armed. He looked at my waist and that was the last thing he said.
I told her that I would only tell her the number of people at the address and since I had made her job so hard, I would answer one other question of her choice. She chose race. I told her I was not of Eskimo decent and drove off.
>>>You Too??????!!!!!<<<
Your use of inflamatory punctuation indicates that your highly emotional human half often expresses itself inappropriately.
Or maybe it’s just pon farr.
Bump for later
What is the correct way to answer the race questions if you don’t want to? It seems clear to me that this information wil be used to redistrict to favor ‘Rats.
Silly me — I was trying to figure out what Jerry Day was; I thought it might be something connected to WWI.
The 2010 census will be mailed out according to the CenBur on 15 March. Most people will be filling the form out and mailing it in. Those who do not return the form will have a census worker come to your residence to obtain the data. There are ten (10) questions being asked which you can see for yourself by using this link...
http:\2010.census.gov/2010census/test/text-form.php
None of these ten questions ask for the information Mr. Day says is being asked in this enumeration census. Just check out the above site and see for yourself what the questions are and then decide how you want to respond to the 2010 census request.
No, I don't race. I'm a safe driver.
