At any time we can review our list of Wild West antagonists, and see that they share in various degrees all these drives. This section defines how men are alike. In the next section we will examine cultures, and how the various Wild West antagonists twist the common drives to adapt to varying conditions. Let's start with an easy drive. All lions, wolves, and men get hungry.
Appetites result in eating, which is a healthy behavior.
One with a too powerful hunger might over eat, and get fat, which is not so healthy. One with a weak hunger drive might not eat enough, which is not healthy either. All our antagonists get hungry. On the surface, hunger has nothing to do with the Wild West conflict, but we shall see about that later. One who responds to his hunger drive by eating in moderation might be a 'Good' man.
