The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Oct. 24, 2009

Meriden: plans for the census raise counting issues involving demographics and a failure to respond rate. Efforts should be made to get people to respond, but it’s like voting and jury duty: if people feel uninvolved with the system, it’s going to be tough to stir them to participation.

State: the guy trying to sell T-shirts with the face of the UConn player stabbed to death recently is now in trouble for using state logos. Although the attorney general calls it shameless exploitation, the seller says it’s charitable intent to raise money for the player’s unborn child. Since no money has yet been raised and no shirts sold, it may instead be a tempest in a teapot. Why not help the guy comply with the rules?
