The Power of ‘No’

If America’s institutions wish to improve the country’s culture, harmony, and mood, they would do well to practice using that most useful and elementary of Old English words: No.

That’s “No” as in, “No, I don’t care that you’re offended, go away,” or “No, I won’t punish others for your intolerance,” or, “No, you can’t stay here and make stupid demands. I’m busy, and you should be too.”
