    What do you think of the Census asking about our "Race" in the questionnaire? I though Martin Luther's who moment was not to look at skin color? Is this a racist question by our government?

    The race question has been on the census forms for all the decades I remember.

    But this year they can't ask about citizenship. Go figure.

    Glad that you are back, Jedi!

    The government is very worried about melanin. No one ever said that American government was anything other than greatly overstaffed and greatly overpaid.

    I agree that it is not racist but it is backward. To use the rhetorical trick of the militant lesbian Gertrude Stein, an American is an American is an American. What is the government going to do with all their information about melanin? Globalism reduced the pay and benefits of people who do physical labor in the private sector but retained and increased the pay and benefits of government employees, who now are a ruling class that has unionized to demand even more from taxpayers.
