"And indeed, the burden of Cassandra's "gift" is evident in mythology. She predicted the outcome of many disastrous events. In one memorable example, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous Wooden Horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate."
If termites could talk, I always say, they’d call what they’re doing to the house “progress,” and when the house finally collapsed on them they’d ask how the heck that happened. I defy anyone to make a dent in liberal complacency.
