I can't count how many times someone has done something to piss me off in business. There have been plenty of times when my first instinct was to "crush the bastards". But more often than not, the kill the bastard, winner take all mentality could be averted by a simple phone call and meeting. It is amazing how much two sides can find to agree about when they sit down at the table with an eye toward making things work.
It is only when "playground mentality" takes over that things start to go south. I really think Duh has a problem with adult problem solving. Really, I think he has just never matured mentally to the point where he can solve problems like an adult. His "reasoning" always seems to be on the primitive side of the evolutionary scale. His reptilian brain is apparently still dominant. For him it is all simplified into kill or be killed, eat or be eaten. There's just no room in that "brain" for compromise. It's all about aggression. It's scary. It's primitive. It's the playground bully mentality. It's our fatuous "leader".
