Big Brother is Coming!

Ripped right from the files of, "You can't make this up!" comes the latest assault of Government intervention. It appears that questionnaires are being sent to select U.S. households that ask some highly personal and sensitive questions.

The 2009 American Community Survey, an annual supplement to the decennial Census, asks about residents' personal relationships and whether a home has hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, bathing facilities, appliances and phone services. It also asks how many rooms are in a home and what vehicles are used at each household.
The new questionnaire asks respondents what they pay for electricity, gas, water and sewer every month and whether residents receive food stamps.

And lest you be tempted to simply throw it in the trash and say, "I ain't telling Obama a dang thing!"....you should know that such behavior may have a cost attached to it;
