Tell them that Helco walks past my house? Or that the Census workers are out of a job? I can't imagine why they would care... also, I think they got interned as a result of a very flawed domestic policy. The Census data itself did not cause their internment. To argue that the government, being deprived of the data, would have then been unable to intern any Japanese Americans is in the first place naive, and further, suggests that we should not attempt to solve the root cause of government malfeasance but should rather merely obfuscate and try to hide from them, assuming that they are and always will be evil. I don't believe that to be the case.
