“The central attitudes driving the Terrorist are:

Seeing you terrified is exciting and satisfying.”

“The central attitudes driving the Demand Man are:
It’s your job to do things for me, including taking care of my responsibilities if I drop the ball on them. If I’m unhappy about

I am above criticism.
I am a very loving and giving partner. You’re lucky to have me.”
