“If you do not send it back in, they will send someone to your front door to get the information from you (really!). What will you do then?”
Just like I did in the last one, tell them to get off my property that they are trespassing and that they will never get more than the answer I gave on the quesrionaire, 2 adult homosapians!
Works for me.
I got the expanded form in 2000. It had all the threatening language about filling it out or else. I blew my stack and immediately used it to light my fireplace. Someone came around and somehow got information from my neighbors. I gave them hell for intruding on my privacy, especially my commie neighbor. I would have played mute, foreign language jibberish, crazy (stating 1 million toilets and cars) before telling them anything more than how many people live here. I will foil communist neighbors this time somehow.
We didn’t fill it out last time. We had the long form, it was pages long. I threw it out. No one ever came to our door. And back then, if they had, I was too busy having, nursing and raising babies to answer it. ;)
We were just talking about this at a party this weekend. A couple neighbors said they had people come to their door asking questions. I didn’t think the Census was due until 2010? No one came here. So far.
