Starting Saturday, May 1, a small army of Census workers will begin walking door to door throughout America. While 7 out of 10 households already have mailed their forms back, that still means millions more of us will hear a knock on the door to ask for our completed 2010 Census forms.
For lots of us who really dislike most uninvited intrusions - from telemarketers to phone surveys to junk mail and occasional traveling sales folks who come to the door - having a Census worker show up is as welcome as a cold sore.
