Either is appropriate, but I think i'm going to stay put.

Quote:
Groupthink, a term coined by social psychologist Irving Janis (1972), occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to a deterioration of “mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment” (p. 9). Groups affected by groupthink ignore alternatives and tend to take irrational actions that dehumanize other groups. A group is especially vulnerable to groupthink when its members are similar in background, when the group is insulated from outside opinions, and when there are no clear rules for decision making.
This is fundamentally about the thirty plus years of rehashing the North Central LRT debate and the perception a Centre Street LRT is the urban alternative and the Nose Creek LRT is the suburban one. I really don't believe for a second anyone here actually has strong feelings about interlining or really believes that 7th Ave ROW will somehow cope better in the future with than it does today.
