In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.

I would prefer that in the Republican party, we not engage in trying to destroy each other, because all that does is hand the election over to the Democrats.
