INTERMITTENT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER....AKA "RAGE"...A PSYCHIATRIC NOMENCLATURE WHICH DESCRIBES DONALD TRUMP....AND, AN INCREASING NUMBER OF BEWILDERED AND CONFUSED AMERICAN YOUTHS.....

An acquaintance that was having many problems with her daughter finally accompanied her 28-year old co-dependent "child" to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed the 'problem' as "intermittent compulsive aggressive explosive disorder"!...... [There's a name/term for everything, isn't there?] I recalled a more recently (re-)solved murder case in which a man beat his best (only) friend to a bloody pulp..with a baseball bat, after his friend admitted to being gay; then, discovering that his friend was still capable of standing........ran his friend down with a vehicle, killing him........The "killer" was sentenced to prison, for 1st degree murder, but was released after only 4 years...having been retro-diagnosed with "intermittent explosive disorder".......So, he's back with the general public........Go figure!......I just recalled another "case" in which a young hippie (early 70's) was apprehended for selling a couple of hits of LSD to undercover cops in New Zealand.....He was sentenced to 20 years of hard labor......I remember this scene from MIDNIGHT EXPRESS........doesn't that trigger some rage at "the machine"?

  ....from a note. over a dozen years ago, to a friend, whom, at that time, I knew as "Chaz" and with whom i've shared many 'dialogues' over the past couple of decades, although we have never met in the "real world", but only within the contexts of Myspace and Facebook: Re: mental illness as the burdensome lagniappe of Creativity...the compartmentalization, then unravelling, of associative collusions within the mass of cortical tissues......:.....It is not so much that eccentricity is incomprehensible, for  i don't seek to discover the periapsis of intellect or the common, intersections that we share......somewhere between 24 and 42, so to speak, wherein the trajectory of random thoughts collide in expressions that are both recognized as "real", yet, at the same instant, are transient and unknowable........i keep, at my bedside, 7 boxes, varying in both size and design, materials of construction and contents.......At one point in time....we...
