CatherineM Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's great for your descendants who will become genealogists. I was reading the 1880 census stuff just last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scardella Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 My brother works for the census bureau. So, it's a good thing. It gives him a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle_eye222001 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 The census is probably overall a good thing. The only thing bad is that the democrats will try to taint it to suit their political agenda but I can't imagine the Republicans were clean when they did it either. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/harry+gregson-williams/track/the+battle"]Harry Gregson-Williams - The Battle[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and I'm sure you will want to bet that the homeless and poor will be over counted as opposed to under counted to show the need for higher taxes and how bad Bush was. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/harry+gregson-williams/track/only+the+beginning+of+the+adventure"]Harry Gregson-Williams - Only The Beginning Of The Adventure[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 +J.M.J.+ am i right to be a little paranoid that ACORN (in some states) is conducting the survey? can't remember where i read that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I've read that, too. I'm not looking foreward to it if they ask too many intrusive questions. It's none of their business how many toilets we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (Really don't want a visit from social services) That, and they would probably charge me an "outhouse tax." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
