Clearly they selected the best and brightest to create the form for the 2010 census. Examples:

1. No LGBT identifier. Enough said.

2. The first person to fill out the form creates a "race" identifier for the entire household. Forget my house, where there are eight individuals of varying backgrounds. What about interracial couples? You better study your children carefully and figure out if you want to characterize their home as white, or black, or Asian, or whatever race you belong to, but not your spouse/partner. Seriously idiotic.

3. Individuals may only be male or female. God forbid they remember that they live in the 21st century and show respect for sexual identity differences.

4. The Census is literally a giant chart with two questions: what sex and what color are you? This kind of specificity will certainly solve all of our nation's woes.
