Almost no sleep last night....
This can't be good. For no reason in particular, I just couldn't sleep. Okay, I slept about four hours, but now I have to spend the whole day taking my second half of my first comprehensive examination. Taking LOTS of no doze stuff. I have a feeling that when I get to the second half, every answer to every question will involve the natural right to sleep. I'm sure Locke, Hobbes, Gutman and Gundrum all agreed on this particular natural right. Wasn't it Dahl that mentioned that without public discourse and caffeine you can't possibly have a stable polyarchy? I know that Schumpeter said that even though most representatives are packaged for us instead of sought out by us, they are packaged with a free trial of Vivarin. And I vaguely remember that while strong democracy is necessary to fight off the horrible concepts of Barber's fear of liberal democracy, that fighting is never to be done without at least five or six hours of sleep involving a positive REM cycle. Come to think of it, the reason Schumpeter believed that socialism would eventually collapse was because of physical exhaustion and not enough sleep.

I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
