We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

First OCDO is not regional but rather national, even going international.
The state sub-forums are NOT for the exclusive use of the respective residents. Many of us are interested in the laws, happenings and people in other areas. We have developed friendships, lend a hand regularly to help each other out and add to the pool of knowledge - it is two way street.
You might wish to avail yourself of the opportunity to scan the many sub-forums on OCDO to see how commonplace it is for a poster to be from another state before you go trying to install fences around what you perceive to be your territory.
I daily peruse more forums than you have posts. That does not make what I say more valuable than that which you post - that is to the reader to decide.
You also might want to earn your strips - give people that don't know you the opportunity to see who and what you are before stepping in to criticize others.

Oh well I am so SORRY. NOT You must regard yourself so very highly with the little quip "I daily peruse more forums than you have posts". I have a business to run and spend very little time on this site, but that can and will be rectified.As this will be my last posting due to the fact that I have that right just as I have the right to OC and really do not need nor have the available time for frivolous quibbles with wanna be ahhh How to put thisin a form easy to understand "KNOW-IT-ALLS".LOL Oh and by the way the emoticons were just for fun.

Nimrodder, if you're going to be a buffoon, then GTFO. Personal attacks and unprovoked hostile attitudes towards others are not welcome - read the forum rules and maybe you'll understand it.

Hell, if I can tolerate some of the liberals on this site, which is woefully difficult,surely
you can tolerate out of staters posting in the Louisiana forum. Most are like minded
individuals, that are a boon to our cause.

From Article I, Section 2:
"The actual Enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct."
In other words, if Congress approved it, then it's legal.

Incorrect. The Constitution authorizes Congress to direct the manner in which the enumeration takes place. An enumeration is a count. Congress has no authority to conduct anything other than the enumeration, or count.

I only answered the head count and sent in my form weeks ago. Monday evening a census worker knocked on my door, and I was expecting to be asked the rest of the (illegal) questions. Nope - she was just asking if I knew of a good time to catch my next door neighbor at home. She asked if I could act as a reference if they couldn't get in touch with the neighbor; I informed her that I haven't ever talked to that neighbor (she's practically never outside) and all I could give her was my guesstimate of the number of residents there (the neighbor has frequent visitors, so it's hard to be sure). :quirky We'll see how that goes.
I did tell my stay-at-home wife to be very careful about answering the door, and if the person looks shifty, don't answer, arm herself, and contact HPD.

Bingo. Congress can decide if the census is distributed by mail, filled out in person at a courthouse, or distributed by trained monkeys riding St. Bernards. They can mandate the color of the census form, what paper it's printed on, etc. You get the idea.

Found an interesting blog entry regarding this very subject. http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-i-told-census.html
Here are some important links to stories in the commentary above.
Police shoot and kill a CA woman terrorized by these Census goons. http://www.appeal-democrat.com/articles/family-95100-city-woman.html
Of course the Census could never do anything wrong and the workers are all on the up-and-up right? Try again. A U.S. Census worker has been charged with rape and burglary, after two women in southern Indiana claim they were attacked. One of the victims was a 21 year-old physically handicapped woman. http://www.fox59.com/news/wxin-women-raped-by-census-worker-051110,0,3578244.story
Are you currently renting your home? The Census says that if so they can demand entry without warrant. http://blogs.ajc.com/bob-barr-blog/...ers-can-enter-your-apartment-in-your-absence/

Untrue. Both you and Barr are wrong, can't read, or are simply alarmists.
What it does say is for gated communities or apartment complexes where canvassers are not allowed, the management must either provide a list of occupants, OR allow census workers to go in. Into the complex, not into your home (apartment)!
There are many gated communities in our area where you cannot get in unless you have permission from a resident.
And security guards check to see that you go there, and are not just riding around looking for something to steal.
During the last census, workers were not allowed to go in
at all, so these people didn't get counted.

So an apartment complex that has restricted entry would not be unregulated to entry by a bunch of potential criminals? That means they can enter the complex without authorization of any of the tenants then start their harassment. By management divulging private information to a third party, they could be breaking their own rules not to mention they are acting like informants to tell on you without your knowledge.
Either way I don't like the idea. Maybe you like your neighbor ratting you out, but the idea sickens me.

SlackwareRobert,
Ah, the "just-us" system at work.
One set of laws for you and I, another set for "them."
Neither of us would be afforded such a response.
What's that phrase? Titles of Nobility?
