I know for a fact I am not on the 1990 census, I pitched it down the dustbin when it arrived.  There was never a call or anything about it.  The 2000 census came and I did the same thing, but I know my wife gave them the information - she is not as distrusting as I am.

I got the lettre the other day and sent it down the shredder.  Frankly the government knows too damned much anyway, why make it easy?

They are doing no more than counting the sheep! Never know when the wolves will get hungry!

I heard a discussion about the census on the radio today. The narrator said there were many nationalities listed on the form....caucasian, black, asian, etc. One guy said, "I was born in America, never left America, and live here in America now. When my census form arrives, I will mark "Native American" as a nationality."  In replying, the narrator said, "You can't...because you.....you, ah, you're caucasian right?"
I now know what nationality I'll be marking.

I DON'T KNOW HOW OR IF THE CENSUS IS TAKEN IN ALL COUNTRIES BUT WE HAVE YET TO GET IT STRAIGHT AFTER 200 YEARS...

Most countries that are stable and at peace conduct a census every 10 years, just like yours does. In all countries, the basic method of collecting census data is much the same - someone knocks on your door and asks questions.

I know for a fact I am not on the 1990 census, I pitched it down the dustbin when it arrived.  There was never a call or anything about it.  The 2000 census came and I did the same thing, but I know my wife gave them the information - she is not as distrusting as I am.

Your descendants in the future... I can hear them now: "We don't know too much about who our ancestors were a hundred years ago, or where they lived. We think they were hobos..."

You realize that your government (in theory) uses census information to help determine where your tax dollars get spent? Do you really want the indigenous support groups in your area to be given more federal subsidies than they deserve?

Using a census return to make some kind of political statement or protest is almost as futile as writing a message on a ballot paper to do the same. It might make you feel good, but the people that actually should be hearing your protest aren't going to ever find out about it.

We have no census
When we move to a new rented or acquired house to live in ; we have
to register with the local police to get permits squared away
We have to register with postal and gas and electricity and water companies
And we all need an identity card with a chip on ; that is now changed
for a new foto every ten years
We are not branded yet and we have no chip shot under the shoulder yet

illigals living in broken into houses are guestimated. They are non voters and
non taxpayers anyway
