We have just passed Albuquerque; on the next stop, get a mass-market beer (is it any wonder that the city is in decline?) in Milwaukee.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
