I’m wondering if they can legally do anything?
Or just fill out zero (in honor of zerobama) on all questions.
Just imagine if a VERY large group of people did that?
What are they going to do, keep me there until I fill it out???
I chucked the first one thinking it was a hoax. Personally I don't think the Govt has any right knowing what grade in school my kids are, where they go to school, and if anyone in the house had a mental disorder - WHAT???? What does that have to do with the census? Apparently it help them decide where new funding will go for community services like school and public transportation. I just don't like the gov't getting all up in my business!
What did we ever do before google?
