"Government of limited power need not be anemic government. Assurance that rights are secure tends to diminish fear and jealousy of strong government, and by making us feel safe to live under it makes for its better support. Without promise of limiting Bill of Rights it is doubtful if our Constitution could have mustered enough strength to enable its ratification. To enforce those rights today is not to choose weak government over strong government. It is only to adhere as a means of strength to individual freedom of mind in preference to officially disciplined uniformity for which history indicates a disappointing and disastrous end." -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 1943

I've spent the last two days feeling hung-over. Considering how long it's been since I've had any alcohol (and the smallish quantities I consume when I do drink), this is grossly unfair. I actually feel worse today than yesterday.

Feeling hung-over without having done anything to earn it is just wrong. If I'd been drinking it would still suck but at least I'd feel like I'd done it to myself.

[A long time ago, one of the meds I was given for fibromyalgia made me feel like this. I was taken off it as soon as I reported that symptom. I wonder whether anything I've eaten lately can cause this feeling, or if it's just my body being randomly annoying.]
