Never Give Up Nope

Oh, for a land full of “nope” for leaders with enough gumption, and intestinal fortitude to say ….”NOPE!” as in NO, NADA, NAY, absolutely, most certainly not, by no means, never, no thanks, under no circumstances. For one, nor many, can meet the needs of all nor should the one or the many hold power over all nor all bow down to the one or the many. For the one should be the individual free to think to decide to speak without fear of the “many”, the “one” or the “all” John G. Lawless ©4/11/2022

Sadly, our society reminds me of times under Stalin! Pitching rich against poor, As if ....if I have five dollars more than you....then I must be loathed? Communists think like this. Freeloaders are loved. But if homeless, we are adored? Even if we steal, we are loved? Working is a sin! Who’s on first? I do not know. Stealing is allowed in CA. Working is a no no. Beyond me, John, Pangie.xo

This reminds me of what I heard a man say not long ago, "F... Y..! are the two most powerful words I know," he said. He avowed they work for any occasion, and they make clear your stance. Crude, but some what the same as you saying NOPE! We all have an inherent right to say NO!

A sticker I once saw on a hard hat read "F... YOU YOU F...ING F...

Amen, John! 10,000 zillion per cent. Here's to 'NOPE!' It's really our only hope! Kudos, Gershon
