| In Massachusetts it is against the law to ask any employee his
race, creed or religion. This law is in effect in other states too.

| When I applied for a mortgage loan about a year ago the application
had an optional question asking for my race. The loan officer said
I don't have to answer it but as soon as I leave the office he will
write "white" on the application.
DEC has to show that it is not discriminating because of race. Perhaps
this is the way DEC reports its figures to the government.

| DEC does keep numbers on race, such as white, black, hispanic, asian,
female. This is to staisfy the government EEO requirements. However,
it does not ask religion, and therfore would not have figures on
the number of Jews, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, etc.

| I think it's also against Jewish law to count people. Something
like, "They did it once in biblical days, and a plague fell upon
them, so they don't do it any more". The way they got around that
was to require a coin, I think a half sheckel, from each person,
and they counted the number of coins.
So, if each Jew in DEC would send me a dollar, I will report on
how many dollars I receive, and therefore how many Jews in DEC.

| By the way, if I DO receive any money from that last offer, I will
donate it to charity. (Otherwise I'd never be able to explain it
to the IRS).

| Both Exodus and Numbers count people. E.g. Exodus says that there
were 69 people going to Egipt. Or the division of the people after
the exodus into thousands, hudreds, etc.
