Even not a bad idea to “go on a drive”! A virtuous life implies activity, but activity may be speculative as well as practical.

Democracy is the rule of the poor; oligarchy is that of the rich. Aristotle is so wise!!! Democrats take Equality for their motto; oligarchs believe that political rights should be unequal and proportionate to wealth. But both sides miss the true object of the state, which is virtue.
