Harvard Business Review sends me daily statistics (its free, i'm not fancy) and I got this one today:



Heck No, We Won't Answer the Census





12% of Americans say they might not, probably won't, or definitely won't fill out their 2010 census forms, the Pew Research Center says. One reason is lack of awareness — 32% of that group hadn't heard of the census — and another is fear of harmful consequences. Some 44% of the might-not/won't group are under 30, Pew says.


I think a popular American phrase needs to be rephrased these days: Beyond the Shadow of a doubt.



Its got to be a disease, or all brain/no gut that leads people to leapfrog from one highly unlikely event to another, winding up one something so preposturous and ridiculous that it terrifies them to the bone. I can't imagine how you live that way, I'd lose my brain. Anyway, I thought i'd throw it out because its also pretty alarming that people aren't aware of the damn thing. Its all over the television where I am. I watch maybe 5 hours a week and I've seen 7 different Census commercials.
