A census is hardly categorization, or a negative thing as you imply by your choice of words.
Say what?

The above link is all demographical information, CATEGORIZED by the census bureau. Said information is specifically used categorically for funding allocations. How a census is not categorization on a MASSIVE scale, much less simply not being categorization, is beyond me.

Furthermore, while personally I have no problem answering the questions in the census, I don't fault anyone who does. The US government is by no means entitled to all of the information the census is asking. Simply put, some people are more private than others. To ridicule them because of it is, equally simply put, ignorant.
