There is no right to work in a think tank, and these are very privileged positions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that there's been an unfortunate tendency for right wing think tanks to dominate these discussions. They often produce very shoddy studies and policy recommendations, which are nevertheless taken very seriously.
There's no reason why anyone's job should become untouchable for the rest of their life.
There must not be favoured treatment for those occupying a position of public responsibility.
There can be no wise politics without thought beforehand.
I can think of nothing worse than a think-tank where everybody agreed.
Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.
Leadership is a choice, not a position.
Leadership does not depend on being right.
If you put someone in a job who is thinking for even a moment about the next job, you have the wrong person.
Think tanks do have points of view, and they are absolutely entitled to defend them.
