Do people not realize that the Federal Government has been doing a Federal Census EVERY 10 YEARS SINCE 1790??????
And what in the HELL do people find so incriminating in the 2010 Census, anyhow? This is one of the shortest and least intrusive census' ever done. I remember filling out the 2000 Census and it asked many more questions, such as did I own or rent and what my occupation was. The 2010 census didn't even ask that!!!
However, the worst paranoia propaganda that I've seen was an advertisement on the Weather Channel's website:
Protect yourself from identity fraud during the 2010 Census - only $4.95 for the first month....
brought to you by one of those "free credit report" places like Equifax. Go figure!
