Okay since you wanted a better comment (slave driver...) here we go... (though I am not entierly in the best philosophical moods as I am still fangirling over straya...
Alright, while I am much in agreement that D....Dunkin Donuts (*hisses*) is the devil, I am not certain people really are that inheritly evil... I personally don't find it at all hard to believe that someone would just be "nice" and bring the sugary confections into work just because. I also believe that most people would share equally, and would be polite as to everyone's favorites (or at least willing to take a "second" favorite). They're just donuts after all. I've seen this myself in places of work. Though, yes, I do realize it is only a metaphore, but metaphorically I also belive that people are willing to work out thier differences (however minor or meaningless) in a civil form. Yes, there are people out there who are a bit... off and I suppose would do something like your metaphore, but I think, again, that most people would not go to such extremes.
I think you may be anaylizing a minority (not ethnic... when I say minority I mean "small number" that could include someone of any race, sex, etc (but are probably old white men)) of "bad eggs" not the entire human race.
