No they shoulld not. The word "enumeration" means a count. In this case it is a count of the people living at a residence. As far as the sex of individuals are concerned the first name of the individual is usually an good indicator, unless the name is unisex like Lynn, Adrian/Adrianne, Erin/Arron, etc.

Anything more than this is an invasion of privacy. The questions on the 2010 Census are intrusive and are only useful for social engineering purposes. The Founders never expected that the Census would be used in the manner which today's liberal left eventually wish to use them.

There is only one way to stop the bureaucrats dead in their tracks regarding this information gathering scheme. EVERYONE would have to refuse to give more information other than what the Founders expected the people to give.

It is interesting that the one additional question that should be asked isn't a part of the questionaire, "Are you or anyone in this household an illegal alien?" But common sense isn't relevent when it comes to federal bureaucrats.

Every time Obama and the Washington crowd speaks, votes, or takes some other action on "our;" e.g., the peoples; behalf, our taxes go up, the value of the dollar falls, more of our freedoms disappear, more of our manufacturing plants make plans to leave the U.S. and move to China, our unemployment roles increase, and prices continue to rise.

Each action that has been taken by our dictator-in-embryo in the White House and his clones in the House and Senate; Pelosi and Reid respectively. They are taking towards the ever steeper slope, right up to the precipice of economic and socialistic disaster. Everything this President and Congress have done to date are old socialistic ideas with fancy new names.

When are we the electorate going to understand that there is no free lunch when it comes from this band of theives in Washington. When the few honest members of the house warn us of the cliff that we are running towards, to drown like lemmings in the arctic, they are booed and jeered by the managed news. The people are so bamboozeld by the kings and queens of ABC, NBC and CBS that we they run in lock-step with them and fail to see that they themselves are on course of pushing the nation over the ledge.

The only salvation for our nation's problems is the strict adherence to the Constitution. It has served very well from 1787 through 1890 or so, and will serve us well again if we study it, use it for a litmus test for political candidates, and vote as though our freedoms depend on the principle that it represents. Study the Constitution. Give it the chance that it deserves. Vote for Constitutional candidates for political office. The so-called progressives and socialists have failed with every new program that they have instituted. The Constitution isn't an old piece of paper. It is as modern a document today as it was it was conceived of by the Founders in the hot summer of 1787.

Study it, leard it, change our direction back to it. The tried and true methods of the Constitution will work if we give it a chance.
