L. D. Knox
Luther Divine Knox, Sr. (March 9, 1929 – May 27, 2009), known as L. D. Knox, "None of the Above" Knox, or Nota Knox, was a colorful politician from Winnsboro, the seat of Franklin Parish in northeastern Louisiana, who attracted national media attention in 1979 when he legally changed his name to "None of the Above" Knox to protest the lack of candidate choices. Knox claimed that the absence of choices led to the selection of the "lesser of two evils". He hence proposed that voters be given the "None of the Above" option if they reject the declared candidates for office.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obituary of L.D. Knox )〕

'None of the Above' Knox Dies" ) 〕 Knox owned some about Bayou Macon, which he hand cleared and cultivated in what he considered to have been an aberrant but advanced style of agriculture.〔
