How does this have anything to do with counting people?

Don't, under any circumstances, let them count your toilets.

This may have been covered, but I only intend on answering those questions that are legally required. Is this one of them?

The census is going to make for excellent micro-targeting data for the Obama 2012 campaign.

I'm proud of my wife. She came in and told me that we aren't going to be answering any question other than number of people and ages that live here. I had no idea she had a Libertarian bent that strong.
