So we actually ended up receiving two census forms – one at our apartment and one at our house. Unsurprisingly, both letters were wrapped in the same envelope proclaiming, “YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW.”

I do not think they want me to respond to both of them – in fact, I am fairly certain it would be a violation of law to respond to both of them, but I never credited the federal government with an overabundance of intelligence.

In any case, one of the forms will eventually make it back to some GS-2, who will open it up and see that Block 1 has a “2″ in it, and the rest of the form is blank. Although, depending on how ornery I feel in the morning, Block 9 might have “Some other race” checked, with “American” as the fill-in-the-blank answer… You all are more than welcome to do with your forms as you see fit, and whatever consequences there are for your decisions will be yours and yours alone… and the same goes for me.

    I am only answering question 1 as well. If they feel it necessary to send someone out in an attempt to get the rest of the answers, they will not have much luck.

  • Oh, if someone shows up at my doorstep, not only will the sight of me carrying or holding a firearm probably kill the conversation to start with, but also me objecting to the ageist, sexist, and racist nature of the questions will only make the matters that much worse… :) .

  • You BETTER answer the door with the M1A, I’m just sayin’!

  • Eh, I am thinking Janus should be more than sufficient :) .
