My brother-in-law got a 'farm census' in the mail. He is required to fill it out and return it by Feb 4, by law.
The best part is that he lives in the middle of the DFW metroplex and has never been associated with agriculture. His daughter does have a pet sugar glider though.
This form is large and 24 pages in legnth. I filled it out for him, basically the first 3 answers are 'none' and it said to skip to the backpage bif it was, and then 3 more questions to say we have no farm here.
Now we gotta mail it back.
How many government employees are opening these envelopes and punching the asnwers into a computer? How much tax money was wasted with this idiocy?
Of course I could have also gone to their website and did the survey but I decided to send it back the old fashion way.
at the bottom of the back page it says...
According to Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995... blah blah blah
hilarious.

That should concern you.
Yes! But of course when they wear the paper out from moveing it from side to side, they will be forced to make more copies.
