		Alexis de Tocqueville observed that it is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth.

		Tocqueville, who despised the July monarchy (1830-1848), believed that war and colonization would "restore national pride, threatened, he believed, by "the gradual softening of social mores" in the middle classes.

		Unless it’s devoted to the life and works of de Tocqueville, an outfit with a name like the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution is bound to be bogus.

		Like the other think tanks the Microsoft has contributed to, the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution is known to be fairly conservative and traditional.
		I would expect that all of the institutes that Microsoft gave money to would probably be pro proprietary/free enterprise, blah, blah, blah.

	Alexis de Tocqueville Serves Up a Red Herring
		Recently, the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution (ADTI) released a report entitled Opening the Open Source Debate, which condemned open source software.
		In its rush to weave any number of reasons why open source is evil, dangerous, and to be avoided at all costs, the ADTI document conveniently fails to acknowledge today’s grim reality – a computing environment where closed-source, proprietary software is the technical cause of nearly all major IT security incidents.
		In the article, “a Microsoft spokesman confirmed that Microsoft provides funding to the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution”; however, neither the company nor ADTI would discuss specific details despite repeated press enquiries.

		This was the idea that captured the imagination of Alexis de Tocqueville, the nineteenth-century French lawyer who wrote the most important account of early "Democracy in America." It wasn't popular elections that fascinated him - it was the jury, an institution that gave ordinary people the right to choose life or death for other citizens.
		My feeling is that SCO doesn't have the money to play these kinds of silly games with; history dictates that Darl McBride and his cohorts are perfectly willing to generate their own untruths for the press and would probably view the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution as unnecessary.
		So there's a painful irony when we're forced to recognize the validity of de Tocqueville's remark in a May press release from the head of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, Ken Brown.

		Delio's major theme is that since the de Tocqueville Institution receives financial support from Microsoft, it is simply assumed that the Institution is the mindless patsy of Microsoft without any critical examination of the actual content of the Institution's paper.
		Accordingly, the de Tocqueville Institution's paper is suspect the instant any connection to Microsoft is revealed.
		Since the de Tocqueville Institution's paper is not to be released until Friday, I find it impossible for anyone to intelligently comment on its content.

		Calling it an "unhelpful distraction," Microsoft has repudiated a study on Linux published last month by the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution.
		Bankrolling third-party institutions to undermine the competition is seldom good business; Microsoft's repudiation of the study is a case in point.
		As Ken suggested when news of the report's contents first broke, Microsoft would be better served by letting its products succeed on their own merits as opposed to funding - directly or indirectly - spurious research designed to spread the FUD.

		Microsoft funds several public policy institutes, including the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Heritage Foundation, and the Cato Institute, the representative said.
