Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder with a neurological pathology. Using brain-scanning technology and brain-chemistry analysis, some researchers postulate that OCD sufferers, in addition to imbalanced neurotransmitters, demonstrate repeated activity in localized regions of the brain--continuous synaptic firings, or "hot spots" in the brain, like a broken record, endlessly skipping--repeating the same synaptic patterns firing, over and over again. These involuntarily synaptic repetitions, in combination with stimuli-induced changes in brain chemistry, cause in the OCD sufferer an insatiable desire for some activity—insatiable because it cannot be fully satisfied.

Exethalamion, Part the First
By Tommy George
Exethalamion > Greek: Homage to Divorce
168,000 B.C.
Seventeen-hundred steaming centuries ago
Your future essence was conjured amidst clouds of acrid stink
in an ungroomed farrago, when a gnarly ur-pimp
pinned your greatest granny down at the tar-pit;
she came to in his cave wearing only a bear-skin carpet.
Thus entered politics ancient into the bargain.

18 December 2014. Allison, Iowa. Scoff-laws of America, beware! You won't be breaking the law around here anymore, because law-enforcement has got your number. McGruff the Crime Dog has already put away over 2,300,000--that's two-million, three-hundred thousand!--lawbreakers. Human being-type people--gone wrong! That's the number of men and women presently locked up in American prisons and jails--more than any other nation in the entire history of evil-doing! We're beating the pants off old Eichman!
