i gape in wonder at the attitude some take toward the census... If Big Brother wanted to know such info about you, he could find out easily, without your participation. And most people willingly fill out similar info on credit applications, loan applications, etc, even when mega-corporations are, in my reasoned opinion, a much greater threat to privacy than is Uncle Sam.
And in any case, if you don't fill it out, a census worker is going to come to your door and ask you the same questions. Save US taxpayers a bit of $$ and send in the damn sheet.

Come on guys... census = big brother??
