Census
I'm constantly amazed and amused by the weak and feckless "paranoia" exhibited by people who claim to be "pro-freedom" or "anti-government". They believe that putting their name and address on the census form will give the government all sorts of information that it didn't already have. They also believe they're sticking a wrench in the works by answering "human" or "American" in the race blank.
Listen, you poor self-deluding fools, the government already knows ten thousand times that much. Probably knows more about you than you know about yourself, unless you've spent your whole life disconnected from the grid like Kaczynski.
And you're only hurting yourself by answering "human" or "American". Those statistics determine who gets the goodies. The goodie distribution system has no slot for "human" and explicitly no slot for "American". By filling in those slotless and meaningless answers, you're effectively shrinking the slot for your own tribe, thus sending more goodies to other tribes. ¶ 5:31 PM
