I think that taking the census of America is one of the hardest and most rigorous jobs that have to be done. This procedure happens every ten years but usually takes one whole year to complete. The hardest part of the job is getting everybody to cooperate and hand in their ten question form on time. Many people forget or just don’t have time. This is commonly the case with students at colleges and universities. Many students are fooled by the fact that they think that they are accounted for by the house in which their parents are living; when in actuality it is where you are living fulltime (fulltime means living on campus or off-campus housing). Many students are unaware of the census and are too lazy to complete these forms or usually just forget. I think that it is a good idea to use email to get through to kids at colleges or universities because everybody at these institutions uses a computer to operate and is most likely up to date with most technology. This would increase the accuracy of the census and would probably save the government a lot of time.

First off, I have been a claims adjuster for 20+ years. Using a credit report to help determine rates is pure BS. As another poster stated many people with good credit suck at driving. Their the ones who are wealthy and too busy to pay attention while driving. I have investigated 1000′s of accidents and there is absolutely no correlation between bad credit and bad driving. I agree there is a correlation between good credit and the insurance company getting paid on time. That is their main concern. Using the credit report crap to charge higher rates is just a bonus to the company.And folks let’s be clear about the myth that insurance is required in all states. It is NOT!! It certainly should be but it is not.People who are not in the insurance game (like nan6872) assume that insurance is required in all states because that is a logical conclusion, except when dealing with insurance and vehicle laws there is not much logic applied. There are many states that do not require mandatory insurance but instead require “financial responsibility”. For example I handle a lot of claims in Wisconsin. There are tons of insured drivers there drinking their great beer and driving home. Insurance is not mandatory there, however if you have an at-fault accident while uninsured the Dept of Transportation will revoke your license and registration if you do not sign a contract to repair the damages you are responsible for.

No doubt another very good car from Lexus, but not given an even chance in a very competitive sector due to a lacklustre, forgettable TV advert. When are Lexus going to wake up and start giving their cars some well deserved street cred? I have an IS F, brilliant car, terrifying performance and reasonable fuel economy, but nobody, not even petrol heads knows what it is, which might explain why you’ve only sold 230 odd in 4 years. You need to get these cars out there in front of people who might be looking at the competition and demonstrate that they are better.Just my opinionGraham

Being a die hard patriot fan, it is hard for me to acknowledge when they get flat out dominated in every singe aspect of the game. But I must tip my cap to Drew Brees, Sean Payton, and the rest of the New Orleans Saints. Last night represented one of the greatest games i have witnessed a quarterback play. This is saying a lot, seeing how i witness Tom Brady and Peyton Manning play every week.The Patriot’s defense would be the easiest to blame, but do they really deserve it? I thought they played pretty well, but there just isnt any possible way to defend against a perfectly thrown ball. And 18 out of 23 times last night, Brees delivered a perfectly thrown ball.If Patriots fans want someone to blame, i suggest the coaching staff. Where was the pressure on brees? It seemed like he had an eturnity to scan the feild, pump fake one way, look to his 3rd or even 4th receiver, and deliver a strike downfeild without being touched every play. Clearly we couldn’t even stop the saints offense when we werent sending pressure, so why not take a shot at pressuring Brees and causing a turnover. on the other sideline, Sean Payton coached a brilliant game defensively, rotating fom man to man, to a 2 man rush, to a 3 man rush, rolling to zone coverage. Brady had no idea what to expect.
