The Cassandra Blues

[Plaid Adder]

You know the deal with Cassandra, right? After Apollo raped her he gave her the gift of prophecy but also the curse that nobody would ever believe what she told them (which if I recall correctly would always be bad news)?

How many of us know how she feels now?

It is on the one hand encouraging to see people FINALLY figuring out this war was a bad idea...but it is TOO FUCKING LATE! We already started it! We don't get to call it off and declare a do-over! If Congress had friggin' LISTENED...

But of course that never happens, does it.

So I have two discussion questions for Hump Day:

1) What enabled us to see this mess coming when they, apparently, couldn't?

2) Why wouldn't anyone believe us?

@#$! DANGIT @#$@$!,
