concensus

After a seemingly unremitting planning phase and calls that the hired help has skewed actually US jobless numbers, the American census process is picking up.  This decade it will be conducted under the friendly auspices of the Patriot Act and with a regular calvacade of entrenched, deputized bureaucrats.  I am sure that other countries accomplish the same feat with more accuracy, with more frequency and with less general bother.  What surprises are going to be revealed?  I doubt it would be anything that could floor anyone, nor significantly alter the political landscape.  If I still lived in America and one of the concensus-takers came calling, I would tell him that 60,000 people resided at this address, so I would qualify for my own congressional representative.
