20. I Didn't Have The Same Options. Yes, I Do Understand.

I understand that I'm obviously here and that if I were within a societal construct that desired to count me they would and they will.

I vote, I'm available for jury duty, I work actively within my community.

Personally I say fuck The Census in the majority of it's past incarnations and it's current incarnation.

The Census is intended to limit representation.

That's the entire purpose.

If the purpose of The Census was to ensure representation the majority of the data points would be pulled from existing relevant data public data sets.

I do not conclude that is the case, hence, I do what I do and what I don't do I encourage each to choose for their self.

Here's to fascism's defeat!!

Fuck Nazis!!
