My voice is now heard

This morning I filled out my official 2010 United States Census.  I was going to put it off but the fact that my response is REQUIRED BY LAW intimidated me a little.  So I ignored it for three days and finally my paranoia set in.   Granted, I won't be here this weekend if the police, FBI or god forbid, the CIA, decide to raid my home, break down my door and confiscate my juice glasses, sixteen bottles of wine and one Meemsy.   The WMD better known as Kodi Bear will be safely stashed away with me...
