Census
Re “Census Bureau Urges Californians to Be Counted,” Jan. 8: As I understand it, the census was established to count people; not age, sex, race, jobs, income, education, toilets, televisions, telephones, automobiles, etc.
The census should stick strictly to its purpose, which is to count people to establish our population.
A good start toward ending class, racial and other divisions would be to stop keeping track of the numbers that divide us.
