There's some study somewhere about rats in confined spaces, food
   hoarding and biting each other's heads off after a while. Of
   course it's rats not people, but a good relateable story that
   fits sometimes. -- I can tolerate a lot. It's a thing I learned
   mostly as a kid. But then, there's that line and I don't like
   when that line is crossed because I'm like the Incredible Hulk
   or Popeye at that point. [two childhood heroes] Whole countries
   can behave like people as well. A good metaphor for countries
   can be bully and victim behaviors. For example, somebody who
   considers themselves a victim will sometimes strike back at the
   bully for their behavior. Seems reasonable. But then a victim
   who starts to get a sense of power and gathers others suddenly
   goes on the offensive and BECOMES a bully, and the bully becomes
   the victim. Of course real life isn't as black and white as
   that, but it's a useful analogy when applied properly.
