In its proper constitutional sense, the term [militia] means all the able-bodied people who can be trained and disciplined to act in the community’s defence when it’s attacked.

Every citizen able and willing to act in an emergency becomes a potential defender against attacks aimed at the general population.

Humility, after the first shock, is a cheerful virtue.

Aaron Swartz

What is "this drive"? It's the tendency to not simply accept things as they are but to want to think about them, to understand them.
