ABSTRACT
All planning choices reflect where the actors are coming from, both literally and figuratively. Good planning is aware of, and makes thoughtful choices about, its VIBES:
• Values: "a criterion for deciding desirability." • Interests: "in respect to advantage or detriment." • Beliefs: "acceptance of something as true." • Ethics: "standards of conduct and moral judgment." • Slants: "a particular tendency or inclination, especially one
which prevents unprejudiced consideration of a question." There are pitfalls in uncritical acceptance of VIBES as "given."
