Census vs. Rights

I didn't see any boxes for either of these...just page after page of empty spaces...(I'm single, live alone)...

name, age, DOB, phone #, race...pretty much all there was on mine...Took 30 seconds...

No boxes for SS# or for signature.

Just remember, the law requires the form to be completed on April 1 - not March 31 or April 2.

Darn! looks like I screwed up again!

IIRC, in the 2000 Census, there was a long form that a certain "random" percentage got...1 in 10, or 1 in 1000, whatever...I got the short form then, too...

Not real certain about this...CRS and all that...

My memory is still intact...there *was* a long form in 2000...and there is a long form this year, too...

First pic is the short form; 10 questions, IIRC...plus more pages for up to 9 extra members of your household...

Second pic is this years long form...I didn't get it, but it is about 3/16" thick, as compared to the short form...

Had to take pics with my phone, so they're pretty bad...but you can see there is a difference...

This is the *only* long form I've seen in 793 deliveries...so the percentage must be on the order of 1 in 1000...

To ask my race is racist!

I was tempted to just fill in "Master" under the "any other race" box, but decided against it as I do not want to invite The Man into our lives any more than they have already insinuated themselves in.

They are all bastages, and I want to have as little to do with them as possible.

And I am German/Austrian, NOT fricking Caucasian!!
At least they had the sense to just put "White".

Could use Africian-American since we all came from Africa originally.

I recall studies that say Asia was the home of the human race...
