No Gulag, evidently, can deter the advocates of state power from believing in their own virtue and in the morality of the power they exercise. We are all Hobbesians now.

The people know, and can only know, a tiny fraction of what Leviathan does, and what they know is what these partisans tell them. – Tom Bethel	added by Normando 2 years ago

There’s no number that would trigger the U.S. Attorney’s Office to get involved.
