Being Wired Is All The (Road) Rage

It appears that those who engage in road rage should have society's sympathy rather than our judgement and punishment. The London Telegraph reported June 6 that "Road rage drivers are mentally ill, not thugs":

Road rage and other violent outbursts are caused by "intermittent explosive disorder", a condition which could affect up to 16 million Americans.

Dr Emil Coccaro, chairman of psychiatry at the University of Chicago's medical school and the report's co-author, said: "People think it's bad behaviour and that you just need an attitude adjustment, but what they don't know ... is that there's a biology and cognitive science to this."

So road rage isn't bad behavior after all. People cannot choose to control their anger. It's not their fault, they're just born that way. If that's the case, then what right does society have to judge that behavior? Isn't that discriminatory? Morality need now apply.

After all, it's only biology.
