The Census Bureau welcomed me to the world of BIG BROTHER today.
It is an insidious place.
Proof of address, proof of birth, proof of SSN, Proof of Medicare; Proof of ties between mail address (PO Box), and street address. Source documents for it all, with photos if possible.
Is this why the “ B O O M E R S “ say, “it was a nice place when we grew up, but now it’s a 3rd world country”.
Hello, the whole earth is a 3rd world country; there is no other.
It started with my “acceptance” note from the Census bureau. Three pages of bureaucratize [attached], not so cleverly assuring a fealty usually only accorded to a despot. They only just stopped short of a blood test, checking DNA for “background”.
I was volunteering for this, as my civic duty. I believe in the census, as a way of moderating our political environment.
I am now scared that the, probably last decade of my life, will see these strictures slowly eroding our Democracy:
First with Medicare entitlements
[abortion rights -> silence the women]
Voting rights will linked to “ID”
[photo IDs -> silence the minorities]
Then free movement within & out of the States
[right of assembly] -> silence the opposition]
And finally
I won’t be there: no SS check, no HMO, no vote-no voice
