Does anyone recall...

...the famous psychology experiment where scientists observed a population of rats living and breeding within a confined set of cages?

At a certain point, there was a total breakdown of social controls... to the point where the rats started killing and eating each other.

That sound familiar to anyone?
Road rage is believed responsible for an accident on Hwy. 401 in Milton early today that claimed the life of a local man.

"The vehicles sped east until the car pulled in front of the SUV and slammed on its brakes," said Staff Sgt. Scott Lawson. The SUV swerved to avoid the car, struck the centre guardrail and careered down the highway, rolling over at least once before it came to a stop 300 metres away.

The driver, a man in his 50s believed to be from the Milton area, was ejected and crushed as the SUV rolled. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

What's really alarming, is how this mindless violence is spreading among adolescents.

As Statistic Canada illustrates in the article posted below.

Strange days.
