On the word “no”
A high school history teacher I liked had a quote or statement: “No! No! A thousand times no!”
The statement came to mind to mind because I have been in so much trouble with authorities the past few years.
A Japanese author wrote a book titled The Japan that Can Say “No.” I didn’t read it but suspect he was talking about his country taking back its sovereignty after WWII.
Or maybe it’s about Japanese women refusing to sleep with me. Haha.
