I never understood road rage. I'm always to busy listening to my shit to ever feel road rage.
...now, about the subject... I think deep down many people may feel the urge...if people didnt , then entertainment would not be saturated with violence.
Look at Eminem's "Kim" and "97 Bonnie and Clyde", a man gets so mad at his girlfriend he fantasizes about killing her.
I see it from the perspective of man's desire to exert his will over others, and its an ultimate expression of that.
btw... the biggest serial killers are in the US military, I always thought it was strange that people consider a hardened killer in a street gang a serial killer yet they don't consider a military man in the same way. Why? Just because it's sanctioned by the state? Does that mean that George Bush determines right and wrong, good and evil?
The small time gang member kills because he feels he has the right to do so, to exert his will and for money and power just the same as George Bush.

That is actually a very good point you're making there. However, some nuance applies... Remember that people join the army by their voluntary choice. That's like going bungee jumping: you're not supposed to die, but if the cord snaps... You're aware of the risks. Add to that the fact that the army is only supposed to kill hostile enemy forces, NOT their civilians (which would be considered a war crime). In other words: mindless fools who submit their lives to the service of "The Great Ideal of Peace and Freedom" die because other similar minded yet opposing fools shoot them. They could have chosen not to become cannon fodder, but they assumed their volitional roles. Since they don't value their own lives (hence why they're willing to submit them to the whims of some army commander for the sake of an ideal greater than themselves), they get just what they were looking for. Death.
Now I know there's plenty of armies composed of involuntary soldiers, but they were put in that position because of their acceptance of corrupted governmental systems. They could have run, they could have started riots and revolutions, but they didn't. Harsh as it may seem, nobody's to blame but their own people.
Anyway, are people in the military some of the biggest serial killers? Yes, but at least they (supposedly) kill their own kind, who actually chose to submit to the risks.

Can't say that I have had the urge to kill. And on the road, I usually just shake my head in disbelief at how some people drive.
