So ****ing what? At least we understand their motives. Unlike the State,
whose motives are unknown and unknowable. There is good evidence that
the State abuses census data (just ask Japanese Americans from WW2).

And German Jews, who would not have been so easy to round up and
exterminate had it not been for a census and the use of Hollerith
machines supplied by the ever-helpful IBM.

By all means protest against the census, but do it for justifiable
reasons, rather than spoilt-brat ones.

And preferably protest in ways that matter, not just whining one's arse
off on usenet or indulging in a Duhg Bollenesque beating of one's chest
in public followed by a session of window smashing.
