Re: The Census

Last time around I didn't fill out the forms, and a census taker came to my door. He asked how many people lived in my house, and I told him. He started asking more questions, and I refused to answer. He gave me the spiel about a $5000 fine, and I told him to go ahead.

This year I filled out the form online. The residents of my house are: Ima Citizen, Ima 2 Citizen, Ima 3 Citizen, and Ima 4 Citizen. I skipped the rest of the questions. Constitutionally, the census is for determining representation. They don't need to know where I work or whether I butter my pancakes in order to apportion representatives.
