We have to look at both sides of census taking. If it was as detailed as many of you want, I believe that s majority of people would not complete it and send it back to the government so the real purpose of census taking would be fulfilled. Yes, I agree that it would be great to have this additional information it is not feasible and would defeat the purpose. In a message dated 3/25/2010 3:15:34 A.M.

Well after filling in mine tonight all my future lookers are going to be sure of is I am not Latin and how many people live in my house. Nothing about where I was born or if I am a citizen so when it came to race I put in American, Swiss, German, English just so its there. I am proud of that heritage - and I know the authors of this thing are not concerned. They just want those numbers so they can plan their political agenda. ------------------------------ To contact the NYMADISO list administrator, send an email to NYMADISO-admin@rootsweb.com.
