USATODAY: Ask your Census questions
Yeah, we received the Census yesterday and right of the bat the question marks showed up in my eyes while reading through it. Huh? Am I psychic? I don't even have a crystal ball. How am I supposed to know who will be living with us on April 1st, 2010? What is this? An April fool's joke?
Lots of things can change in 15 days; our youngest may not be able to pay the rent anymore and she and our three grandchildren may show up on our doorstep in need of a place to live. Of course we would take them in, but then our Census would not be correct anymore and four people would not be accounted for.
The second question mark arose while I was filling out the Census and had to mark our race. I had no problem with that, but at the end of that particular section there was an open space for listing what other race one was. I was not even aware there were so many different races as mentioned, what other could there be left? Alien?
Either way, I don't see the point in this Census and I doubt it will be accurate. No one is able to see in the future and know what will happen.
Maybe Obama does???
