		<description><![CDATA[How I missed this, I don&#8217;t know, but here&#8217;s the deal: if you&#8217;re an American living abroad, and you weren&#8217;t physically in the United States on April 1, then you will not be counted in the 2010 US census (in fact, you would&#8217;ve only been counted in the 1960 and 1970 censuses).
