Funny.
They never seem to ‘push’ us hillbillies.
I haven’t seen a census worker in decades.
[the first and only one, actually]
Ironically, I was a tester/hirer for the ‘80 census and when the enumerators would get back in, they’d always come to me and ask “WTF is WRONG with your people?!”
I always said “They don’t like outlanders askin’ nosy questions.”
Secretly, I laughed at their tales of terror involving ‘yard dogs’ and ‘shotguns’.
Then, years later, one pesky lady came around to “enumerate” *me*.
[ I was sitting on the old original ramshackle front porch, cleaning a squirrel rifle with chickens grazing in the yard and 2 Dobes lying on either side of me]
She stayed on the outside of the fence and kept BSing me until I told her I’d hired and fired people like her and knew what she could and couldn’t legally do or ask.
So she gave up and went away.
Far as I know, they’ve only managed to get my name and hubby’s name.
We don’t even get forms anymore.
Of course, my district went 80/20 for McCain last election, so I don't think fedggov idiots are in a big hurry to add me, or others like me, to the tally.
