Quote of the day - Joe Sobran
Tax "cheats" force everyone else to pay more taxes. And runaway slaves forced the other slaves to pick more cotton.

"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."

Today we call someone a "Cassandra" when their true words are ignored. Cassandra's doom was to predict what others refused to believe.
