Census 2010

March 22nd, 2010

Another decade rolls around and the United States constitution requires the government to count the citizens in order to allocate representation in the House of Representatives.

Question 1 asks “How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment or mobile home on April 1, 2010?” I believe that is a valid question, although it would exclude people dwelling in caves, wigwams and other living accommodations of an unusual nature, but most people living in a cave would probably still answer the question, so that point is moot.  This question is the only question the constitution requires the government to ask. The constitution does not require any citizen to answer the question. Most probably will answer so they can have representation in the House.

The question should have used the word domicile to include any type of living quarters. Apparently domicile is considered too complex a word for the average US citizen, so they had to spell out the most common types of domicile.

After that the questions get into murkier waters. Question 2 asks if anyone else was living there that was not included in question 1. Question 3 asks about the ownership of the domicile. Question 4 asks for a phone number to call if the US Government does not understand one of your answers.

Questions 5 through 9 is where they venture into shark infested waters. That is where they ask for my (5) first and last names and middle initial, (6) sex, (7) age and date of birth, (8)whether I am one of several different flavors of latino and (9) exactly what race I am.

5, 6 and 7 are merely invasive. 8 and 9 are downright wrong. The civil rights movement was about making the country color blind. America was the land of opportunity where anyone could work hard and try to be successful, regardless of race, color or creed. What on earth does our government need to know any of this information for? I understand question 1 is used to allocate our representatives. None of the other questions is useful for anything but discrimination. Our government is supposed to be non-discriminatory.

Question 10 is just nosy, asking if you sometimes stay somewhere else.

As you turn the page you see they want to know the full name, relationship to person 1, you, the person answering all these foolish questions, sex, age and DOB, and all the race and ethnic origin as well as other location questions for each person in the house.

Hello! Have any of you read the constitution? All you need to ask me is how many people live under my roof. Looking back at question 1 answers the question “Why are they asking all these invasive, discriminatory questions???” Let’s see question 1 again: “How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment or mobile home on April 1, 2010?” AHAH! it is all an elaborate April Fools joke, All the extra printing costs, all the advertising, all that wasted money is just for a big joke on the citizens of the United States, at our expense, of course.

But then again, it could be that the Progressive elites that run our wonderful nanny state are really just trying to grow the database of information on the citizens so they can be rounded up, classified and disposed of more easily. I don’t know.

I do know this: I am answering question number one. The US constitution does not require me to answer it, but I will graciously do so. This will allow me to be represented in congress. Of course, my vote in November will represent that I want to kick out the elitist trash that thinks they rule over me and replace them with honest, God fearing public servants that want to “Progress” this country away from the totalitarian regime that has crept up on us, back to the constitutional republic our founding fathers set up.
