Anyone got one of these things before? It's from the US Census Bureau. Supposedly it's a replacement for the census "long form" only this time it's 39 pages of really invasive questions. I'm far from the left-wing conspiracy theorist type, but I really don't like this due to the time involved to answer the questions (looks to take at least 1-2 hours to fill out) and privacy concerns. There are reports that people who don't fill it out are harrassed via phone and sometimes via census workers knocking on your door.
I do know that it's a responsibility of every citizen to cooperate with the 10-year census by providing number of people at a residence, their sex/age, etc... But this is just something else entirely. Some of the fine print seems to suggest that this information is sold to private businesses.
If anyone has got one of these before what did you do? Right now I'm planning on just ignoring it and hope that I don't get harrassed by the census bureau. Here's some more info:
