US 2012 Census of Agriculture....I'm not happy

[NoTrespassing]

Actually, now that I'm looking at this subject more closely, it's been since 2010 that I gave it much thought, I remember being willing to pay the $100 fine for my privacy. I didn't supply any false information.

It's interesting that Spakovsky claims you can be fined $100 per unanswered question 典he case law says you can be fined $100 per question for not giving an answer? I'd never heard or read that!

We'll see what happens in 2020. If I'm still around I'll be filling in one blank again with either 3 or 4 instead of 2

Thanks for the correction,

Kevin

The question that bothers me the most about the US census is about race. I honestly don't know what I would put down for race for my son and I don't understand why the government should be asking me what his race is.

Anthropologically speaking there are only three races.
Politically the PC crowd has turned it into a term that is basically meaningless any more.
Mark "Other" then write in "Human" in the blank.

Actually there are very few multigeneration Americans that are "pure" anything anyway. We are all mutts. Isn't that a good thing really.

Yep and this Mutt never did "participate" in the Ag census.

Will y'all visit me in prison?

Prison?

It sounds like it's gonna be a Dog pound, because a bunch of us Mutts didn't comply.

I had a nice lady call, right on the heels of the PETA freaks getting specific farm info from the EPA under a FOIA request.

I flat told her I wasn't interested in sharing personal information with Obongos freakshow network of community activists and Globalist envirowhackos.

It got kinda funny when she denied the USDA shared info with the EPA, and got all kinds of worked up, then hung up.
She hasn't called back since, and the nice middle eastern lady in the burka that they usually send out here to ask questions, hasn't been back either...she really seemed to like my dog jumping on her.

Odd.

If I trusted the information wouldn't be abused, and used directly against me in the future, I would have no issue complying.
As long as the govt. is infested with socialist crusaders, Environmental terrorists, and wacko liberal freaks, there is no way in ****.

100 bucks is cheap to buy privacy.
