1. Much of the policy analysis that is used in policy making today comes from interest groups that are strongly committed to one side of the issue or another or from think tanks that espouse a particular ideology on the left or the right. Do you think these policy commitments make the quality of the analysis suspect? Why or why not? 2. Does the influence of interest groups and or think tanks drive cynicism about the legal and policy process? If so, has cynicism lead to individuals including leadership of organizations to not participate in the process? Is this a bad thing? Finally, what does the Bible say our responsibility is with respect to participation in the policy and or political process?
