james, james, james! rich,white, christian men have caused just about every problem the world has ever had. the sooner everyone gets 'their' god out of public life, the sooner peace will reign. in the 1920's, battered women didnt just suddenly appear, men didnt just suddenly start beating their wives and girlfriends (and kids). righteous men had always done it.  tell girls they dont need men? absurd, the problem is that there are no 'men' around anymore except, apparently, guys with views like yours. oh, this has nothing to do with democrats. it has to do with rich men, white of course, and their control over all of us, our education, media and political life. if you think a single person in hawaii has any clout over anything, id love to hear about it.
