I can only recall getting a census form once, here in the UK.
I just tore it up and consigned it to where it belonged, in the trash. Like hell am I obliged to complete it and send it in to the govt.
If thats a problem for them, boo hoo, pass me the tissues, and a towel too, to mop up that spreading red patch on the floor, from where my heart has been so very busy bleeding.
I hate filling in forms, absolutely hate it. If there is something in it for me, then I'll do it if I really must, but otherwise any forms, censuses, surveys, they just end up in the bin, or with caustic or acid tipped on them before going down the dunny.
Although I had to get it sorted out, benefit payment application forms must be some of the worst. Those really are the pits, they are long, intrusive, irritating and frustrating to have to do, and generally manage by virtue of just existing, to piss me off. The last one was huge, and so complicated I had to get citizens advice in to help me get back a wrongfully cut off income and to get a back payment for the months and months that I'd had to go without. The lass that helped, seems really nice. Meeting her tomorrow actually. She was such a help, even with the actual physical filling in of the forms, she helped (tried) explain the questions, everything, and got me over five grand in back-owed loot.
Isn't disenfranchisement of voters illegal under the US constitution? It wouldn't surprise me considering that former slaves demanded the vote after the abolition and persecution of slavery in the US.
