Ladies and Gentlemen: rather than exchanging personal acrimony and thinly-veiled hints of inappropriate sexual-scatological-fatuously-flatulent behaviors, would that we could utilize the eminently precipitous decline of EDMC as a case-study in various cognitive dissonances resulting from attempting to maintain a Capitalist enterprise within a Quasi-Laisse-Faire Capitalist / Quasi-Emerging-Socialist state? We are, after all, educators ... although I'm not sure about yo momma.

The kind of cognitive dissonance specified here primarily arises out of having too much choice. A non-theoretical explanation would be simple peer pressure and the desperate need to fit in. In theory however, such dissonance finds basis in the spiral of silence where people fear being isolated in making an unpopular choice or by going against popular trends. Yes, the theory of persuasion is evident here in that persuasion is indeed a form of social influence and people like to form their opinions or act by adopting someone else's ideas.

What the f---k did you do? Sit and try to paraphrase with an aid? You are a goof. Must be an EDMC employee or student...knucklehead.
Dude, what are you talking about? A cognitive dissonance? Wow!
