    Hi Judy. Great story from 9/11. There are lots of Hawkins in Newfoundland. Newfoundland is a big island and Labrador was given to Newfoundland in 1928 I think by the British settling a dispute with Quebec. I am in St.johns 4 hours away from Gander. Maybe you get to visit someday soon

    JD's book and worldview changed my life. I have always been enraged by how people treat delinquent actors across the board. When I was in school getting all As there were several delinquent actors who were EXTREMELY disruptive, stole things, and got in fistfights. They are now in JAIL - rightfully so. I have several other family friends whose children were miserable. I don't agree that we should be unconditionally compassionate to those people. It is MASSIVELY unfair to all the rest of us who are trying so hard to live our lives the right way. This is why distributive justice speaks to me. JD Vance's moderate conservatism speaks to me as a liberal who has voted Democrat but believes in personal responsibility and HATES TRUMP. I believe very strongly in the power of education and how it can provide people with the opportunities for a better life in an otherwise harsh and disquitable United States. I feel for JD Vance's plight and am saddened that his sister did not call 9/11, sentence their mother to JAIL for a very long Singaporean-style prison sentence abuse for a very long period of time. I have a very hard time understanding why someone like that would make the personal choices that she made. I DID NOT do such a thing when my mother died at a young age. I feel angry on behalf of JD's mother - she needs to do some atoning by being of service to him. SHE should not have done drugs. I came from my own set of disadvantaged circumstances - when I was 19 I was managing local political campaigns, when I was 21 I was leading staff for statewide political campaigns. I have drank alcohol in the past - and have members of my family who are alcoholics. When I drank I always made sure that I was comporting myself with both state and federal law and caused minimal inconsiderateness to people around me. When people told me that I needed to stop drinking in college because it was hurting my health and career prospect I rapidly stopped. I DID NOT have to stop. I could have kept drinking and ended up in rehab at best or jail at worst. I don't know why JD Vance's mother wouldn't do the same. As well, I DID NOT have children (and still do not have children because I do child planning). It is INTENSELY frustrating to see her conduct negatively effect JD. While I hope that JD forgives her, I believe that SHE needs to do the work to atone for her bad decisions! If the government needs to create more schools and stronger academic opportunities we should! Several people here have commented that Appalachia has failing schools. As a future government worker, I support additional resources to low income neighborhoods so that ambitious students can graduate from a PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY!

    I'm all in favor of keeping the controversial monuments of Confederate leaders erected, but with this caveat: the monuments should be resting atop the hunched over backs of the monuments of black slaves. They can keep all the signage etc. I think this supports what Dr. Ellis is saying w/r/t how we must not try to erase our ugly history, but understand it properly.
