Like pickenup, all I've received so far is the letter telling me it's coming.
I didn't answer a couple of the questions. Like the DOB...I just put the year. Why do they need that? I didn't give them my phone number either. I grudgingly answered the "race" question.
I've had just about enough of intrusive gov't wanting to know everything I do and attempting to influence or control everything I do.
Your birth year should be more than satisfactory for their demographics (which really has NOTHING to do with the stated intended purposed of the cencus). And what practical use/need do they have for your phone number?
Really, they only need to identify 3 things:
Number of individuals in the home
Number of individuals per age group (0-5/6-12/13-18/19-25/26-34/35-45...
Estimated annual income of the household
Anything beyond that is just being nosey and intrusive.
Agreed. I'm only gonna fill out how many people and my age. I feel offended about the race question, shouldn't I, the "others" are so easily offended by more stupid things![Coffee]Quote:

That's not necessarily what I'm talking about, but otherwise, I'm not a fan of equal opportunity programs.
