Stray thought as I push paper at the Reno office of the 2010 Census:
Numerous (I don't have actual numbers and if I did I couldn't reveal them anyway) people are refusing to give basic information to Census enumerators, throughout Northern Nevada.
Whatever happened to "stand up and be counted" as a show of patriotism?
Are these people ashamed of being Americans?
Why else would they refuse to answer a knock on the front door? Peek out the curtains until the visitor leaves? Slam doors and hang up on telephone calls?
Hey, chump! We've got your address and telephone number already. Not coming to the door isn't going to save your privacy. (And most of these holed-up yahoos are not Hispanic, by the way.)
