The U. S. Census . . .

Today is the date that you should have sent in your census to the government. They will collect it and with the information they receive they will come and get your guns, collect your children, if you have a name like Omar or Hakkim they will put you in a concentration camp and confiscate your property . . . April Fools!

Let me explain the U. S. Census. It was required by the U. S. Constitution that we enumerate those who live in the United States including their Slaves.

There has been some questions that have appeared on the census that were not required to be answered. Some of those questions appear in this years census. But there are those that don't want you to turn your census in at all. Michelle Bauchman for one has stated that they will use the census to put people into concentration camps and some even have stated that you must list out all your guns and other weapons on the census form . . . that, of course, is untrue.

Let's go over what those with the U. S. Government want to know and why.

The first question has to do with how many people live in your abode. That is the enumeration part.

The second question has to do with additional people, temporary or transient, persons that might be there. Also an enumeration question.

The third question has to do with the abode. Is it a rented home, or mobile? Is it owned by your or are you in it without rent? Not sure if this one is required, but probably not.

The fourth question has to do with your phone number. This is only needed in case they, whomever that may be, needs to ask questions or clearify your answers, otherwise they will come knocking on your door.

The fifth question has to do with your name. Who are you? If you look back on previous census, you will find that this is very important to those who come after us. I have found my great grand father, his wife, great grandma, and all my great uncles and great aunts. If you don't want your progeny to know who you were, don't answer this one. You will remain a nothing in the generations of your family.

The sixth question has to do with your gender. Being Pat Whatever doesn't give those in the future enough information as to who you really are. There are far too many names that could go with each gender and the government needs to make sure that you are not playing around with the same gender. They want to make sure you are really screwing around and making it mean something.

The seventh question has to do with your date of birth. They want to make sure that you are so old that when they come to get you, that you will not put up too much of a fight. Beware of those Black Helicopters!

The eighth question has to do with your regional origin, if you are of Latin origin. (this is not Race question).

The ninth question has to do with Race, but gets all that confused with nationality. They ask about RACE but then break it down from Asian to Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, etc. Makes one wonder who wrote this . . . stuff. They even separate American Indian from Asian. Go figure!

Lastly they want to know if you sometimes live somewhere else. Is this only your Winter/Summer home? Might you be counted elsewhere?

Now understand that despite all those warnings . . . you haven't been asked about your gun inventory!

Now, why do we do this every ten years? Because it is in the Constitution. That is what the founding fathers wanted us to do. They wanted us to find out who we were. They also us the information to distribute our representation. Michele Bauchman warned against answering the census until she found out that her district would be eliminated if the population count went down. One of the lowest returns by state so far has been Texas. Their governor has placed questions in the citizens' minds. What he forgets is that the House of Representatives are distributed by the last census and he could probably get as many as four more representatives, mostly Republican, if all the people send in their census. I'll not tell him about that and I hope you don't either.

Answer your census. It doesn't take long and it doesn't hurt at all. There is a lot of good that comes out of it and there is no bad. And if you don't answer it, they will come knocking.
