GroupThink

I had originally found and posted this yesterday in response to Snow's comment that the economy was loaded for blastoff. Reading news and analysis throughout the day today made me realize that we got this bad.

A phenomenon wherein people seek unanimous agreement in spite of contrary facts pointing to another conclusion.
Eight warning signs of groupthink:

- The illusion of invulnerability
- Belief in the inherent group morality
- Rationalization of group views
- Stereotyping of out-groups
- Self-censorship
- Direct pressure on dissenters
- Self-appointed mindguards
- The illusion of unanimity
