This question is about "To Build a Fire"

He is headed to a camp to meet some others who already arrived.

Explanation:

"To Build a Fire" tells the story of a man who decides to walk in the extreme cold, with his dog, to meet some friends in a camping trip.

This trip is very dangerous, due to the extremely low temperature, but the man ignored not only the danger, but the advice of everyone about not being able to go out in such a cold climate, as he could suffer a lot, in addition to dying. However, the man does not care and continues walking, suffering all the effects that the cold can provide.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
