Something to think about. Expressing your anger is not always the healthy choice...for you or for the target

I feel that there is a difference between expressing anger (Communicating the issue, why you this has made you angry, how the problem might be remedied) and throwing a hissy-fit. Too many people throw hissy-fits, anymore, much like any other emotion that no longer has communication attached to it. Look at the letters that even the simplest of folk wrote 70+ years ago (such as War letters home, Civil War letters, etc) and you see the degradation of intelligent converse.

You're right, there are constructive ways to deal with anger...it is a great source of "fuel" for useful action but many people just lash out and use anger as a justification for bad behavior

Control your anger. Not the easiest thing to do. But a very worthwhile thing to work on and every little bit of progress is very good.
