In Columbus, there is a popular route called the Olentangy Trail, which follows the Olentangy River. The trail is always busy, but on weekend mornings, it is especially so. Certain sections of the trail feel like a freeway - full of people, not cars. We run in singles, doubles, and packs. Some people are silent; some are loud. Some perform workouts, others jog, and some walk. But we are all doing the same thing, shoulder-to-shoulder - engaged in a common task.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.
