Witness the 400 per cent increase in air rage incidents since 1995. That s right - a 400 per cent increase over four years of airplane passengers assaulting crew members. These are not teenagers, but adults putting the safety of fellow passengers in jeopardy. The most recent incident involved a 39 year old Toronto man who, in an apparent scuffle on the plane, allegedly bit the steward. There s no shortage of hostility at all levels in our society.
People have no respect for each other or for our institutions.
They don t give a damn. Everything they experience tells them might makes right. Power is all that matters, and the only way to achieve power is to take it from someone else. Once you ve got that power, you rule - end of story, evidenced by the performances of Glen Clark and Jean Chretien. The government institutions designed to ensure balance and justice have been compromised by politicians and their hacks.
