For every American, there is one prediction that will come true in 2010. WE COUNT! But the way the Census is starting, I’d think Homeland Security was in charge. A few months ago, a woman came out of nowhere and asked me the address of my bean patch.
Soon I’ll get a survey that demands to know everything except where I was conceived. It’s illegal and futile to resist. I will be enumerated and absorbed into a Congressional district. Of course for me, that’s all of Montana. We are sparse not dense.
Nancy Gibbs has a delightful essay in January’s Time Magazine that cautions us to “plan ahead before history changes everything.” I like that idea. I think I’ll move my bean patch.
