From WND. Not surprising.

So? and your point is? The story is true, read above, some FReepers got this form.
And YOUR point is?
This is information that hundreds if not thousands of NON-governmental agencies get about you every day, 365 days a year.
Publications like "The World Almanac" use such information, government agencies, businesses, engineers, sociologists, charitable organizations, etc., use this information to build an information base which in turn is used to shape their policies and budgets for the coming decade.
Acting like a conspiracy theorist over basic census information is immature and ultimately self- defeating.
It is practically impossible to combat special interest propaganda when you yourself know that any attempt to present accurate data in defense of your position is futile.
Why? The data has been corrupted by a bunch of paranoids afraid that telling someone they have a toilet will result in armageddon.
And, if you don't like the form, be obtuse, or just don't answer any questions that offend you, or violate your sense of privacy.
You can even create your own unique acronym to use on those questions.
VSOP or VSP = Violates Sense of Privacy
OTAQ = Offense Taken At Question or QIO = Question Is Offensive.
Take the time to fill out a "legend" explaining each acronym at the bottom of the 1st page of the questionnaire, or, if you want to be especially annoying, the bottom of the LAST page of the questionnaire.
I think I might lose it, accidentally of course. There is no reason for my government to be asking me for such personal information.
The other thing that pisses me off is they spent taxpayer money to first send me a letter telling me they were going to send me the survey, then they sent this book of a questionnaire, then they sent another letter asking if I got it, all the while telling me to hurry up and fill it out, or they were going to fine me.
