  Just Say No - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reagan at a "Just Say No" rally at the White House in 1986.
"Just Say No" also crossed over to the UK, where it was popularised by the BBC's 1986 "Drugwatch" campaign, which revolved around a heroin-addiction storyline in the popular children's TV drama serial Grange Hill.
No significant reduction in the use and trafficking of illegal drugs was seen during the height of the campaign and it is arguable that drug use has significantly grown since, although it has been argued the campaign may have stopped a lot of people from considering taking drugs in the first place.

 Reason: Just Say No Again: The old failures of new and improved anti-drug education
The drop was detected in surveys of students who had never heard of DARE or Just Say No. And by the early 1990s, when students who were exposed to DARE and similar programs in grade school and middle school reached their late teens, drug use among teenagers was going up again.
Since the researchers don’t give a good reason for using 60 percent as the cutoff point (only saying it was "a reasonably complete version of the intervention"), it seems they simply chose the point at which the outcomes turned positive.
Furthermore, Brown says, real students in real classrooms are unlikely ever to see 60 percent of the curriculum, because most teachers simply pick out lessons and squeeze them in whenever possible.

 Just Say NO!
However the actions that come from the top of the Justice department are not 'just' or 'legal' ­ because the current appointees have severed their personal connections to the US Constitution.
There is no validity whatsoever in anything said by those who continue to parrot the administration's lies about that which underpins everything that took place under the privatized rule and dictatorial pronouncements coming from those who are culpable for the crimes of 911.
So whenever any speaker cites "911" (as an attack by foreign terrorists) just terminate the speech, toss the article or whatever it is ­ because what is being said will be based on that major-mega-lie that enables the continuing violations of those laws that would protect the people of this country from imprisonment or death.

 Just Say No!
If we would allow children to say no the way nature and God designed it, we wouldn't have as many molested children and we wouldn't have to have a national campaign trying to teach teenagers to just say "no".
The campaign to teach children to "Just Say No!" is not as simple as it sounds.
Teaching a child to say no to drugs, or anything else, begins in earliest childhood, when a parent respects the child's boundaries, listens to their feelings and allows them to exercise their right to say no.

 Just Say No , by Don Wetmore
It’s just you have limits to the amount of time you have to spend and so one of the most powerful words in your Time Management vocabulary is the word, “no”.
There is nothing wrong with saying “yes” most of the time, but occasionally there is a line you choose not to cross, when saying “yes” is really not the best use of your time to get you to where you need and want to be.
The point is, if you are ever in a position when you can never say “no”, then you are always saying “yes”, and like the song says, “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for everything”.

 Just Say NO! to the Federal Government by Oliver Del Signore Issue #76   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Back in the 80s, Nancy Reagan championed a “War on Drugs” campaign that featured as its slogan “Just Say NO!” From what I could determine, the only people who took the slogan seriously, who imagined it would do anything to stem the use of drugs, were the drug warriors themselves.
We’ve got to say NO! to the insane War on Drugs that allows our Government to imprison a higher percentage of our citizens than does any other country in the world, that does nothing to discourage drug abuse, and that actually creates the atmosphere of profitability that makes the drug trade attractive and dangerous.
We’ve got to say NO!, NO!, NO! over and over again, until they finally get the message that Americans want to be free, that we want to be left alone to live our lives as we see fit, as long as we do not harm others.

Usually, No Starch does pretty well by me. Their Linux for normal users series (including Linux Made Easy and Linux for Non-Geeks) is informative and those books are well written and instructive.
And, for me, it's even worse because the entire manuscript is pretty much a rehash of the whose-operating-system-is-better argument, which I consider to be one of the bigger wastes of time in the geek world.
The book is certainly not just about operating systems; only one chapter talks about Mac OS X, and one talks about Linux; the other nine chapters describe applications.

 village voice > news > Just Say No by Greg Tate
What Rosa Parks did with her No has become mythical because like Perseus's triumph over Medusa, it forced kracka supremacy to recoil from the banality and weakness of its evil.
A difference made manifest when their engagement in the famous 381-day bus boycott affirmed the power a community of No's can amass in a society where the power of the profits, revered in ways reserved for the supernatural, can magically sweep aside racist custom when it conflicts with commerce.
Parks said No and our own is that the No we need to say has less to do with paying for the privilege of being oppressed than with how our dreams and desires have become what keeps systemic oppression alive.
