Think tanks

A think tank is an organization that claims to serve as a center for research and/ or analysis of important public issues. In reality, many think tanks are little more than public relations fronts, usually headquartered in state or national seats of government and generating self-serving scholarship that serves the advocacy goals of their industry sponsors; in the words of Yellow Times.org columnist John Chuckman, "phony institutes where ideologue-propagandists pose as academics ... [into which] money gushes like blood from opened arteries to support meaningless advertising's suffocation of genuine debate". [1]

Of course, some think tanks are more legitimate than that. Private funding does not necessarily make a researcher a shill, and some think-tanks produce worthwhile public policy research. In general, however, research from think tanks is ideologically driven in accordance with the interests of its funders.

To: US President Obama,
    Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles

Especially in life and death matters, The People depend on "The System" to value Truth.

Troy Davis is not "guilty beyond reasonable doubt". There is very much doubt.

People, regardless whether they live in State of Georgia or not, want this situation to be sorted out - for the truth to be found and known.

We, The People, depend on governmental officials to care about Justice.

Truth comes first.
