From reports I've been hearing, Census Takers have been asking entirely too many questions of normal, everyday Americans. There's no way I'd go back into the hills of Appalachia and ask anybody anything!!!

I feel sorry for him (more so for his family) but in point of fact, he was taking Census Information for the Federal Government in an area that has been, for centuries, a "very private" place. As Forrest Gump would say, "Stupid is as Stupid Does"...

LOL! Your informants are full of beans.

These are addressing listing operations that are running right now. They're not even supposed to ask your name yet unless it's another part of the Census regular operations (not decennial).
