Ma'am;... So, what is your problem with the questions you offer as examples??? Do you not want the government to realize that people are over burdened with their old, just as they are over burdened with their young??? Working people, people forced by economic pressure and the downward direction of wages to work have no extra energy for children or parents, and yet, there they are, demanding.... My Mother in law is losing it. She cannot control her sugar, and she is going to lose her house, and she cannot get around, and she cannot defend herself from preditors who call her on the phone, and try to sell her garbage she does not need...Should my wife lose her job keeping her mother going??? We support the notion of the individual that cuts all people too loose from their communities and community support...Children chaff at nearly nonexistent control because there is no authority behind it, and no real defense of them... And old people find they have no families who love them, or who can support and guard them...The question asked by the federal government has the likelyhood of pointing out at what stage of decay this corpse of a society is in... We have let this people die trying to keep the ideology of capital working... The more millionaires we make the more desparately poor people we make... The more armies we build the less we have to defend... The more anti-depressants we take, the more depressing our reality becomes... The more high tech medicine we have, the less basic care when it is needed most, for the young, and for the old...What a beautiful world we have when we can see all that sparkles and afford none of it... God forbid that through the agency of our federal government that we might know our shared condition, and know we do not suffer alone, and seek together for a common solution... We are not animals, and should no let ourselves be reduced to the status of animals.... We should be able to care for our own, our old, and our young, and if we cannot because the boss is demanding all our time for a pittance, then the system is broke beyond repair... We should all have rights, because rights are what we pay for, and are organized for -in our governments and associations...If we should find ourselves living worse than the third world in our own land, it is not the fault of the government, or of the rich...It is our fault if we do not take our land back...I do not think the problem is one of communication only; but if the government asks the questions it can never say it does not know the answers, and so justify doing nothing...Government is where we talk, and where our problems are addressed... If there is no communication, it is certain no problems will be fixed, and that only specious problems given voice by journalists and commentators will reach the ears of government... Thanks
