Questions:

1.  How can you check the validity of data that is based off of a form that people fill out in a subjective state of mind, when what they may classify themselves as the government may have a different opinion?

2.  Is a person’s ethnicity based on their heritage or the color of their skin?

I would never want Joe Slavo’s job.  I like to think of myself as a scientist and as such I rely on data that has been proven through exact experimentation.  I would never be able to do a job where I don’t feel that the data I’m working with is very accurate (like the census).  I think it is amazing that Mr. Salvo is able to work with such uncertainties so effectively.
