A Census Taker Once Tried To Test Beck

......and he ate his own liver after having to listen to Beck blather on and on about how Obama is going to take away his right to Cinnabons and has poisoned his drinking water.



Meghan Clyne seems to have her information wrong on this survey:

The ACS is part of the Decennial Census Program. It is a survey that is sent to a small percentage of our population on a rotating basis. These data previously were collected only in census years in conjunction with the decennial census. Since the ACS is conducted every year, rather than once every ten years, it will provide more current data throughout the decade. The Census Bureau may use the information it collects only for statistical purposes. Title 13 requires the Census Bureau to keep all information about you, and all other respondents, strictly confidential. Any Census Bureau employee who violates these provisions is subject to a fine up to $250,000, a prison sentence up to five years, or both.

More information can be found at the ACS website.

Beck's paranoia-fueled programming is perfect for rabid, anti-government people. It continually keeps them ill-informed and completely ignorant. I honestly expected them to start talking about the "Mark Of The Beast" when Clyne mentioned the words "bar-code".

Having taken part in literally hundereds of surverys in my lifetime, I honestly don't see how this survey is any different from a vast number that are already out there. People fill out information about their personal life on a daily basis. From banks, to job applications, to voter registration cards, to drivers liscene, auto, home, and life insurance - the list goes on.

This makes me wonder what Beck and Clyne think about the NSA wiretapping people without warrants?
