Another Thing I Don’t Understand

I read recently where the U.S. Census Bureau has issued new statistics that inform us that in December 2008 Americans sent 110,000,000 Text Messages. This makes me want to ask two questions:
• What the heck is wrong with us that we sent 110,000,000 Text Messages?
• What the heck is the U.S. Census Bureau doing wasting our tax dollars calculating such unnecessary and useless information?

To the Smartfella’s way of thinking the following method of operation should be the Standing Operating Procedure in our U.S. Census Bureau:
• The Big Guy in charge of Census Stuff should have stopped this waste of time and money before the time and money was wasted.
• If that did not happen, he should have directed all his minions to shred all evidence that his Census People had bothered to accumulate such unnecessary and useless information.

Why in the world would the U.S. Census Bureau make us aware of such drivel? By letting us know what they are actually doing with our tax dollars we become very concerned about what they are actually doing with our tax dollars.

Of course, up until now, that was not a concern.

Would I kid u?
