Everyone should have their turn. Encourage others to pick. Strengthen their resolve, maybe they'll carry it to the other relationships in their lives. But realize in this current situation, if everyone has to agree it could wind up that no agreement is arrived at and then the group can't go anywhere for lack of agreement. Absurd, isn't it?
