Re: Hell is: Democracy (none / 1)

Heh. We'll be spending the day fielding phone calls from people looking for demographic data, even though my division at Census has nothing to do with Decennial. Some genius in the IT department put the phone number to my office on the Census website, so we get all kinds of calls about everything under the son.

My all-time favorite: A woman from West Virginia called me asking, "Is this the government?" I had no idea how to respond.
