The Learning Center, once a viable institution in New Orleans as a part of the New Orleans Public Library, like much of New Orleans no longer exists, it was washed away by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The Learning Center in Exile has become one of a documentation of my and others' rites of passage toward personal progress like getting a decent job at middle age or finishing school. It is also a place for political and societal rantings. All of this is to keep you reading here.

Michele Bachmann Defies Critics, Introduces Bill To Curb Yearly Census Survey
The information the Census Bureau retrieves from the ten year Census is of enormous use to many government, academic and private researchers, businesses, government of every level, professional and amateur genealogists as well as civic and social organizations No agency can plan or provide adequately for the needs of its people without the acquisition of information. So far, the Census' record keeping has been generally very good. I would love to have access to the complete 1940 and 1950 Censuses because as an amateur genealogist the information from the 1930 Census only answered some of the many question I had as to my family. Those Censuses 1940 and 1950 will not be released for a very long while.
Finally, the Census is only as good as the truthfulness of the people answering the questions...many people have lied and in doing so lost government money and business interest. Rep. Bachmann's constituents can do the same.
