I for one like having more information in the census that just head of household. In doing family genealogy over the years census information has been invaluable in moving the family along regarding locations and helping discover past generations. This information is only available to the general population after 70 years so the concern is not what will the neighbors do with the data but what will the government do with the data. If that is really a concern elect someone else to represent you.

Congress could conceivably argue that the the phrase "such Manner as they shall by Law direct" gives them authority to ask whatever questions they want. I wish the Constitution were more restrictive by authorizing head counting only.

The story about transfats is also quite similar to the one Dondero did. Are you lifting this material from Dondero’s blog? The story about transfats is also quite similar to the one Dondero did.
