Lot's of "her Republican colleagues"
stinkin' the place up though. I remember going through this in
2000. A neighbor was our census taker, and I said, Dan, all you
get is name and serial number. Period. Told me later he
answered the questions for me so I wouldn't run afoul of the
Clinton census police. Yes, a Liberal. He's dead now,
so we'll get a new guy who prolly won't know me. I figure the
best way to handle it is like this.
Census Guy: "Do you speak English?
Me, in my best Welsh: "Cachu bant ti cachu mes ."
Census Guy: "Are you German? Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"
Me (shrug shoulders, point to me, and then to MoSup): "Mae dy fam yn llyfu cociau mul."
At this point I point menacingly at the door, and get my illegal alien dispensation.
Pricks.

Went through that crap.

Sent a nice old lady first, and then a slightly threatening supervisor. Told him I would see him in court when he threatened me with a fine.
Never heard back from them.
I wonder if that would work with Irish gaelic as well? Sadly all I really know how to say is cheers and happy Christmas. Maybe if I look really stern when I do it...

I half-assed filled out their form but where it asked for personal or info I didn't want them to have I left it blank. Never heard a thing back. They have no legal right to it and I cannot be compelled to. F-em all!

BHO Minion: "What is your race?"
ReplyDeleteMe: "I'm sorry, I don't speak English."
BHO Minion: "You are speaking English right now."
Me: "No, I only know how to say, 'I don't speak English' in English."

ReplyDeleteGive the unknown number of laws and regulations, I think we should all have a policy of only identifying ourselves when questioned by authority. Then take the 5th Amendment stating that you would be willing to answer any question once you receive complete use immunity from the city, county, state and federal thugs.

Every time a form asks for my race - I write in "human"
ReplyDeleteIf they ask for ethnic background I write in "Mutt".
