I Was a Teenage Nut-Case

I was a sociopathic adolescent. I remember it too well to deny it. It's helpful to have once lacked a conscience because you can understand it, that It was a lot of fun. 

In my case there was a clear change of heart because of circumstances--an event which endowed me with a normally functioning conscience, not that I wasn't still a wreck. 

These things take time. I marvel at the kids I knew who weren't crazy. It seemed so natural to be crazy then. Credit goes to hormones. But to stay in that state is really monstrous. 

Why in the world would we want to opt for that adolescent brand of insanity? But that is what Trump and his supporters represent, America as a deranged, arrested mess.
