need to rant
« on: May 04, 2010, 05:05:27 PM »

  I realized today just how screwed the American people actually are. A few months ago I received my census form in the mail. No big deal, I filled it out and mailed it back. One month ago I received the form again. I did not worry about it, simple database error. Flash forward to today. I had been working in the backyard trimming trees, and came in for a break. A car pulls into the driveway so I go to the door, it is a census worker. He needs info for the census, I tell him I did my form and mailed it in and goodbye. He says ok, just one question, how many people live in the house. I tell him 2. He wants to know names and ages. At this point I stop being polite and tell him to find my form and read it, and close the door. Now to my realization. We do as the government asks, and they screw it up. They are incapable of doing anything in an efficient and orderly manner. And they are going to take control of our health care and make it better.
 Sorry for the rant, just PISSED me off. :cuss:

I don't like one bit that they are announcing on tv that if you don't fill it out the census that someone will come to visit you at your home.  Do you have any idea how many hodlums looking for trouble are going to jump on that and put on some half arse fancy suit and go knocking on doors then busting there way in.  Be careful guys, anyone who stays home during the day or evening alone, be carefull to open your door to a complete stranger.  they want that information so bad, they can just mail me another form and I'll be more than happy to fill it out.

The US Constitution only give the gov't the authority to take a "count" of the people once every decade.  I filled out "2" and ignored the rest of the questions.....nun a ya damn business!  Right?!

One of the census people showed up at the dept. the other day looking for a map. The maps they gave them showed houses but no county roads or how to get to the homes. She also told me that if they witnessed a crime in a home or saw illegal activety they could not call the cops or they would be arrestted for privacy clause they had to sign.

Worked for the guvment for a while and came in to work one evening.  Checked the bulletin board to find a notice with the following handwritten note at the bottom.  "This notice was not to be initialed.  Therefore, for you who have initialed the notice, please erase your initials and initial the erasure."  Was new to the organization so I left scratching my butt.  TRUE STORY!
