Pull out a dictionary. Like I said earlier, people are reading way too much into the constitution and destroying it to fit their personal agendas. Is that what you want? Or do you want what was originally intended by the framers of the constitution? Personally, I'm sick and tired of big government asking me 'confidentially' how much my mortgage is. What kind of question is that? Did you actually look at the questions they asked?

And how do they relate to enumeration, or counting the population. I'd be all right with your definition if, and that's a big IF, they did what was supposed to happen. Take a count of the population. Not how much your water bill is, or if you have indoor plumbing. Leave those questions for Rasmussen and the like.

I am not impressed with the quality of the planning that comes out of any level of our gov'ts. IMHO they don't know what they are doing, and what they have done so far is a joke. That they want to know every bit of data about what we have, where we are, and what we watch on TV serves some purpose, commerce, probably, but it doesn't give a clue about what we could be if they didn't restrict us so harshly in the area of land ownership, subsurface rights, etc. We are not even allowed to own land in outer space. Unreal.

Can I wipe my butt with it before I send it back? I can leave a big stain right where that indoor plumbing question is . . .
