Where do DemonRats go when they die?

Aloha Patsy Mink. I never respected you politically, but God bless your soul. I voted for Pat Sakai and never for Neil the Hippie. My blessing is that Hawaiians will become ENLIGHTENED and hear another voice. My last visit indicated that you were receptive to other voices!

""I promise you there's a huge void in political leadership now that she's gone," Amaral said. "The professions — medicine and law — were once closed to women. Gifted doctors and lawyers you see today would be at home caring for babies instead. There's dignity in that, but there's dignity in our talents as well. Patsy Mink made that possible." And she invented the internet too! Or did Al Gore have prior claim?
