Mine was filled out yesterday and mailed today! It was so much faster than I thought it would be.

Done and mailed 2 weeks ago, mine was delivered to my door, not my mailbox <shrug>

It would get even better is some just choked on it.

In all seriousness,
I have not recieved mine yet.
Were there any questions that you felt bad about answering?
I have filled them out every 10 years and never had issues.... And every 10 years I have heard people offended by the questions. LOL

I didn't find the questions intrusive whatsoever. We were only asked that which is needed to know in order to figure out $$$ to best serve the public.

That is what I expected. LOL
Same as last time, and the time before.

Here is something funny from my brother. I am very proud of him, but I can't really follow his politics. He does get most of his 'news' the the NPR.

Anyhow, here is the 'scary analysis of the evil census"


Gawd... Stupid should hurt!

What the seniors were told was: If you fill out and mail in the census form by April 1 you have 10 questions to answer, and it should only take about 10 minutes (I think mine took 3). If you DON'T mail it in a census taker will knock on your door and the interview could take up to an hour. The questions the takers ask are much more in depth and some could consider them "intrusive", you do have the right to refuse to answer any of the questions.

My first census where I wasn't listed as "daughter/son of person 1"
I figured there would be more questions then that.
I have an Ancestry.com account and its funny to think in 72 years someone will be able to look up info on me for the piece of paper I just filled out.....
