Brain -> The U.S. Census: Why Our Numbers Matter - TIME (3/29/2010 2:18:58 PM)

The Census is a plot to see if you are qualified for death panels and/or concentration camps for reeducation. Social Security is a plot to make working people pay for the retirement of lazy old folks who could probably get a job at a fast food establishment or as a greeter at Walmart. Medicare and Medicaid are plots to keep old freeloading folks alive at the detriment of younger citizens. And if you believe any of this crap, America is in deep do-do.

I got the short form.  I filed it out and will mail it out.

Silly little feel-good article that barely touches on why the census is important.

It doesn't matter to me, I want nothing from them. The roads are the roads, it doesn't matter if I live alone or with 10,000 people. I am head of the house, how many others live here varies at my whim. They can get information now and in six months it is no longer true.

There was this deep depression in the road right at the intersection of a sidestreet that just about empties out into my driveway. They came and fixed it. Now people fly through there running the stopsign, and I await the day one of them runs someone over. I'd rather have speed bumps, BIG ONES. The purpose was served and if they had asked me I would have told them to leave it alone. Now the roads on my way to work on the other hand, well there needs to be some roads put in if you know what I mean. It beats the shit out of my suspension. But here we are talking a dead end street with a bunch of families with kids. I'd rather it be dirt road, but in fairness to my neighors without four wheel drives I guess we have to have some pavement. Did they waste that money for me ? OK fine, just don't charge me for it.

The main intent of the census was for representation, not apportionment of our dollars. I want nothing, and there is no true representation so I decline. I'll let you know what kind of jail they throw people in for not "reporting" to their masters.

In light of changes in my attitude I think I should not categorize myself as a switch. My dominant and rebellious nature just don't ring right, and I don't want people to expect what they are not going to get. I'll bottom, but I have never really submitted. It is not in my nature.

Destined to burn in hell ;
