I think that it was not a plant but if it was, what was it? A type of "smart politics" or a "dirty trick", and why is it that?
When my son was young, many years ago, we took him to the circus where we were amazed at the skills of the stars. I can remember how the horseback rider made it seem so difficult in the beginning of the act that you thought any minute he would fall off, only to be amazed in the end of the act at how easy it had become. I realized then that illusion is part of the act to control our emotions and sense of reality, so to entertain us.
If that is the case, in the entertainment industry and I've learned many other industries, why not politics?
If illusion is part of our world, then is it not for us to be educated consumers of our politics, and not always believe what we see and hear?
Do I believe that either one of our top three Democratic candidates can accomplish all that they propose? Do I believe that they want to control our emotions and reality? I've lived through 12 Presidents and remember 10, and I can't tell you how much BS has been thrown, but that is another longer story.
I just wanted to get your take on "smart politics or dirty tricks" and why you think it either one.
