Many folks are going to protest it, but they will get visits from enumerators. the government is persistent like gum on the bottom of your shoe. |

Hence, when the good little gubmint toady shows up at my door (I'm passively non-compliant on the matter), I just tell them that this isn't my permanent address and am counted in another state.

10 years ago, I said I am Irish-American, married to a Leprechan, with fraternal twins---one leprechaun, one not. I further said we owned the bridge we lived under, had 12 pots of gold and 10 rainbows.
Nobody ever visited me or arrested me, dumbass.
This year, we no longer own our own bridge and I am reducing the pots of gold and rainbows to reflect our real-life budgetary situation. |
