Response to Cencus?

Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh My !!!The Census form I got was a joke,in my opinion.All they asked was who lives in your house as of April 1,2000.Name, birthdate and Race. That's it.It did not even ask what you do for a living, never mind if you have a toliet.So, how are they going to figure out if my roads need fixing, or our water services need updating,, or if the country has too many white-collar workers who are unemployed???? The form said not to include family members who are away at college, in nursing homes, or incarcerated.Some fun my descendants (?correct spelling) are going to have when they come looking for information on us ! Gee, what did old Great-great-grandma Lesley DO for a living in the year 2000??? Apparently, nothing.I feel sooooooooooo represented by the Census.As far as I am concerned, the whole thing is a waste of time, and skewed information for the data clerks, since the form was not standardized for everyone. Ah well, my tax dollars at work again.At least they made the return envelopes free postage..must have been an oversite on someone's part.
