They're Relying on You to OBEY - Really Graceful
Published on Aug 20, 2020

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s okay to say no.

Many of us feel uncomfortable saying no, because we’re afraid of conflict, we’re afraid of standing out from the crowd, because we grow up well-behaved and compliant and we place value on the comfort of others and little on ourselves.

This lesson applies to all things in life, whether it’s creating boundaries personally or professionally, or even dealing with this new abnormal we’ve been sold every single day in 2020.

told one of the executives of the manufacturer i work at - NO - to his face, eye to eye, when he was handing out masks to people while we were stuck in the tornado shelter during derecho in Iowa and did it alone in front of 200 coworkers.

not afraid to say no. i have always known and said it to folks for years, this world is all about getting you to a place where you never, ever, ever say the ultimate four letter word - NO.

Well fcuk them all!

I just went into my Fed Ofc Bldg tonight and as I know where the cameras are I wore no mask the entire time I was in there and worked.

I now also know I can pull and replace the Hard Drive from a $60K USD copier in under ten minutes including replacing the removed covers and reassembling the machine.

Clearly I am not quite doing what I excel at and could be making tens of thousands of dollars more for doing this as an undercover janitor in Corporate espionage.

Oh well, I lived my life honestly and have learned it is indeed not its own reward.

Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country,
don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy.

Say no to the small stuff so they don't try the big stuff.

In hindsight after two weeks of shut downs when the curve didn't come we should have demanded to open again.

But too many got government gibs or were content not to have to go into work,.....

When they come onto my property,
I will give them ONE and only ONE
WARNING SHOT.

After that I will assume they mean me harm
and will treat them as armed invaders,
and will shoot to kill.

She makes a great point about being first to say no. It's true and if you put yourself out there your friends must choose you or state mandates and being an enforcer of them. Would they make you take the vaccine? Some friends then huh?
Gen. John B Gordon and Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest were the finest citizen-soldiers birthed in America.
