Looks like the census is on it's way! I've heard conflicting stories on what we can "get away with" in regards what to fill out and what to leave blank. I've seen links to outdated stories and outdated regulations, so I was just wondering if anyone knew some cold. hard facts? I'd like to just fill out the number of people in my household and leave the rest blank. If I do that, I've heard that what could happen to me is anything from "nothing at all" to be "given a $5,000 fine." So which is it? Does anyone know?

There's no debate the census dabbles too far into our personal info. And I'd really like to "stick it to the man" by not filling out the whole thing. But I really am not willing to take that risk if it leads to a $5,000 fine or some census worker pounding on my door on a quiet Sunday morning.

Any input would be appreciated!
