    Yeah. I've completed my military obligation, serve on juries when selected, haul my butt to the polls in every election, pay my taxes accurately and on-time, register my property purchases, weapons, births and deaths, with the appropriate level of government. I feel I've adequately paid my dues to live in this land of the free and home of the brave.

    You guys are right, every bit of info requested is available from some level of government. Why should I give the info, in one neat wrapped-up package, to an entity that hasn't shown sufficient security precautions - only to have it compiled in a personally-identifiable database copied to a DVD that some bureaucrat accidentally leaves sitting at his neighborhood Starbucks on his way to work?

    From my reading, I've learned they no longer ask for your religion or social security number. LoL. Like an identity thief cares that I worship the Flying Macaroni Monster.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    now Mr. KukriKhan...you know you will comply and give the required information to our benevolent government....It is inevitable.

    Egh. Good job, Kukri. That's utterly ridiculous to require all that info of people when they don't even do a half decent job making sure its safe and secure. And not requiring religion, but all the vital stuff instead? Insane. And interestingly...I didn't think it was time for the cencus. Your area growing pretty fast, Kukri?

    Looks like we're developing concensus here.

    I thought we were agreeing on the cons of the census.

    Good for you, Kukri.

    I can't see any reason why the government would need that information I would ignore it.
