There is another missing question, that also excludes another oppressed minority. Nowhere does it ask if you are a *corporation*, even though the Constitution requires that the census enumerate every "person" in the country, corporations being (according to the prevailing jurisprudence) persons with all the constitutional rights pertaining to any person. This omission, unlike the LGBT one, is likely to have the very serious effect of depriving one state-- Delaware--of its due representation in the House of Representatives. Which would call into question the validity of all legislation passed by that Unconstitutionally Constituted body. All LBOsters from Delaware, corporate or natural, should get together *now* to bring a Federal lawsuit challenging their prospective (and continuing) underrepresentation.
