I sent a friend a link to the youtube video I posted about how to complete a census. I asked him if he would mind if I posted his reply and he said go for it so here it is.
Thanks! I ripped it to mp3 and sent to a friend who does a radio show on RBN weeknights at midnight EST. Hopefully he will play it. The question and answer regarding citizenship was very funny and revealing if you know what to look for (14th Amendment citizenship). In answering the 2010 census, I only answered Question #1 -
How many people live in this house, apartment, or mobile home?
Zero. It's not a house, apartment, or mobile home. It's an office/shop.
The census form is very interesting. Question #1 is set off in a box from the rest of the form. The box contains directions for answering Question #1 only. This is the only question authorized by the Constitution for the government to ask. The Constitution does not mandate individuals to answer as the Constitution only applies to the federal government.
The envelope containing the form has an interesting logo
2010 (R) CENSUS
The (R) above represents the registered trademark symbol as it appears (very small) on the front of the envelope. Registered trademarks are used by corporations. When did corporations get the lawful authority to command answers to questions posed to individuals? That's easy!
Answer:
The 1st of Nevuary, 2525
