I am from the wrong continent to be inculcated in country music from an early age, but I read books distributed from her program every week to the niece. So that's probably her more durable contribution to society, I think.

Something tells me that the songs and films will outlast the books program, but hopefully it's making a difference in the lives of kids. There's no telling how far reaching that can end up being.

		Well, as long as the songs and films continue to make her estate money, I imagine she planned to continue sending out books.

		On the flipside, how many individual lives have been changed by the books provided to families for free? Impossible to quantify but I'd argue extremely important.

> "wrong continent to be inculcated in country music"

A humorous response to whenever someone says "country music" is: "Which country?"

You cannot separate that ideology (like any ideology) from the practitioners, and the biggest practitioner was unquestionably Sam Bankman-Fried. I'm not a fan.

Ridiculous, because EA says the ends justify the means, whereas Ms. Parton demonstrated the importance of the ends and the means.

The public will not mourn any EA the way that Dolly is being mourned.

It is your silly assertion that is what is entirely fucked up about techbros and politics today.
