Phoenix is a city whose time has come. The inner city is being restored, the university is moving downtown, and property values are on the rise. But we haven't quite arrived. Any downtown metropolis worth its salt has a commuter rail system. Just look at New York, Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco. Don't leave Phoenix behind. Vote "Yes" for light rail. Explain how the argument illustrates the bandwagon fallacy and why that fallacy makes the argument weak.

The argument is a bandwagon fallacy, because, yes, Phoenix is growing, but that does not call for having a light rail. Just because other major cities have a light rail does not mean a city which already have other modes of transportation that already works really well would need a light rail. This is a bandwagon, for the publisher believes that for Phoenix to be able to "become a major city", they must have a light rail like all the other major cities. This is a fallacy, and is just a group of people trying to tack on the title of major city through building a light rail. In this case, if a small town of a couple hundred can build a light rail and call themselves a "major city". Does it meet this fallatical statement? Yes. Does it make the town a real major city? Not in the near future, if at all.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
