They changed to a short form this year....with the longer form (now called the American Community Survey) sent to a small percentage of the population on a rotating basis throughout the decade.

That must have been what I got both times. The second time, 5 years ago, they wanted too much information and I refused the bitch ringing my doorbell every day for two weeks. Then her supervisor by phone for two weeks, then his supervisor for two months by mail.

There are those who believe that they are only required to provide the number of people in your household...and asking anything beyond that is unconstitutional.

They would be wrong. You could be fined or in the worst case, tossed in the can, for not responding, although highly unlikely unless you attempt to make yourself into a martyr for the cause.

I agree the long form is cumbersome and potentially intrusive, but I see the value of the data and dont see the nefarious intent projected by some (not you).

For example, I'm not telling them when I leave for work and when I return. That's none of their fucking business. Thieves want that information too. Oh, wait, the government, thieves... hmmm.

I got one of those a year ago. It was long.

The old open check book method of operation was all about making the rich richer and invading soveriegn countries.

While reading porn and driving through an intersection.

I was wondering who was in the car next to me...

Don't forget
* phone number.

Fuckin-a.

Oh they'll get a phone number all right - but i certainly won't be mine
