I HAVE OFTEN FOUND THAT TELLING THE TRUTH CAN CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS WHEN THOSE IN POWER - LANDLORDS, EMPLOYERS, LAWYERS, POLITICIANS - LIE.
RECENTLY, FACEBOOK HAS STARTED REMOVING MANY OF MY POSTS CALLING THEM "SPAM". WHY? BECAUSE SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY DOESN'T LIKE THE TRUTH.

CASSANDRA – TRUTH HAS CONSEQUENCES
Cassandra or Kassandra (Ancient Greek: Κασσάνδρα, pronounced [kas̚sándra], also Κασάνδρα), also known as Alexandra, was a daughter of King Priam and of Queen Hecuba of Troy in Greek mythology.
Cassandra was cursed to speak true prophecies that no one believed. A common version of her story relates how, in an effort to seduce her, Apollo gave her the power of prophecy: when she refused him, he spat into her mouth to inflict a curse that nobody would ever believe her prophecies. Another version has her fall asleep in a temple, where snakes licked (or whispered in) her ears so that she could hear the future.[a]
Cassandra became a figure of epic tradition and of tragedy.
In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate someone whose accurate prophecies are not believed by those around them.
