A strategy that our government is using to try to get unpopular issues accepted - cap and trade, for example - is to distract us. The debate on the public option in health care or the talk about the pending decision over committing more troops to Afghanistan give us plenty to discuss and focus on without seeing or noticing what is going on behind the scenes.
It a little like an illusionist's or magician's act. They get us to concentrate on what they want us to see while we miss the trick.
Our government knows exactly what it is doing to mislead us and build a larger, stronger organization with more power and control over us. They are counting on us not noticing until the "ta-da" and we wonder how it was done.
Don't be dazzled by the footwork or put off the scent by side issues just because they seem to be popular. In many cases, they are masking the important issues of the day that are going on undetected.
