You guys have it all wrong...if you want on the gravy train, you need to answer to get the federal hand-outs--personally, I just became a disabled gay black Muslim woman on public assistance the moved here from Mexico to have a baby in an American Hospital that has been repeatedly subject to sexual harassment by 32 year old white guys at my former place of work, who cannot now get a job because of massive corporate downsizing and whose ancesters were slaves thrown over the side of the ships leaving trails in the Atlantic that the sharks still follow looking for food...(do I get the money yet?)

A profile like that INCREASES the financial gains and defense programs for these disabled gay black Muslim women! You need to become ex military, white and retired, not able to afford food or medicines.

Why are we re-electing sissies who can't fight?

years and years of no resistence

Education, said Aristotle, is the only way to make a constitution work as intended.

Ok, so if it's sent to the address, NOT to you personally, isn't the house responsible for filling it out? Responsible for the fine as well?

Just askin'!

Not only no, but HELL no...

It's profoundly disturbing to me that they think they are entitled to this information. They have NO right to this informatino about my family, PERIOD.

I wonder what would happen if I didn't know the answer to all those questions? What would happen if I just answered with a question mark to all the questions, or "N/A" or "unknown"? Would I be prosecuted because I don't really know the answers to all their prying questions?

Can I wipe my butt with it before I send it back? I can leave a big stain right where that indoor plumbing question is . . .

Throw it in the trash. If the government contacts you or sends someone to your house, tell them that you have a problem with stolen mail. If they don't hand you one, and mail another one. Repeat. There is no way to prove otherwise.

GPS can enable electronic evesdropping on your phone, can filter out satellite tv and cellular phone service from entering the co-ordinants, block internet access, shut off your electricity, smack you with missiles........ You raise a good point.

All these great electronic ideas are beneficial to mankind but only when used with good intent. Putting that ability into the wrong hands could make the iron curtain seem transparent.

What a wonderful world we are entering!

What if you just respond by writing "Up Yours, Bureau-Rat!" on the paper and mailing it back, taped to a brick?

"...businesses will be better able to identify likely markets for their products and services..."

That's all that I had to read to fully understand why this survey is required by "law."

The "fix is in" for special interest.

"whose ancesters were slaves thrown over the side of the ships leaving trails in the Atlantic"

Ummm...I have a question for anyone who claims their ancestors were thrown over the side of slave ships...

(/sense of humor)

I was hasty in urging the recipient to shred this intrusive piece of busybody mail. We should have a contest to find the most ... creative ... way to comply with the law. I like the idea of completing it in crayon, complete with stick-figure drawings, dog poop stains, and a return envelope stuffed full of coupons for adult escort services. The first two become especially poignant when they read the questionnaire and discover that there are no children or pets in the household, except for Algernon the Mouse.

Here is a scan of the first letter I received "reminding" me to fill out the form.

The second letter was a little more pointed. It said that if they didn't get it back a person was liable to call on me personally.

Regarding the ACLU, they probably require proof of DIMocratic voter registration.

That is creepy.

Under what law is your address required to comply?

You know liberals are only too happy to fill these things out. They looooove to tell people all about themselves, as well as their opinions.

Same reasons they talk to pollsters, while we conservatives tell them to get out of our faces. I figure that is why the exit polls were so skewed.

pollster; "Who did you vote for?"

liberal; "I voted for Kerry because he is such a wonderful hero. And he's not evil. And he can speak French!"

conservative; "None of your business."
