The apparent killing of a census worker has got me sick to my stomach this morning. We don’t know all the circumstances of his death, but the few facts given out by the police are disturbing. From Associated Press: A U.S. Census worker found hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had the word “fed” scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment. The law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, did not say what type of instrument was used to write the word on the chest of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and teacher. He was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky. We don’t know what really happened to this poor guy, but it got me thinking about how many of us perceive any individual that goes door to door for their job — we tend not to hold them in high esteem, right? But going door-to-door is an honorable job folks. It may not be a choice you’d make but many people make a living at it. It’s hard to say how many people do this type of work because a lot of it is off the books and temporary, but I’ve heard estimates that more than 25,000 individuals are out their hitting the pavement each day
