Kim Coco Iwamoto Becomes Hawaii's Highest Elected Transgendered Official

Congratulations to Kim Coco Iwamoto!!!! This is great the people of Hawaii take care of "their own" regardless of gender or sexual orientation and I think this is great. Too bad the rest of us don't do the same. Unfortunately the rest of the country seems to think that "their own" is one small thing about who "their own" is. In Hawaii it seems their own is simply human. The rest of the country suffers from a lack of unity. Maybe we should all be stranded on a series of Islands forced to make it on our own for years and years until we finally end up recognized for our greatness by some greedy white people and then become a state and end up being one of the most successful tourist/money making spots in our country while still staying true to our culture and beliefs and thanking God that there is a shit load of water separating us from the ignoramous money hungry bastards whose mentality causes them to separate themselves into groups over tiny meaningless crap that doesn't even effect them on a direct level. Maybe if that happened to us we'd stop separating "our own" down to the tiniest of degrees of similarities and in turn causing rifts between every frickin person on earth. I am venturing to guess that Hawaii never motivated a terrorist to take them out. Hawaii is a great example of how things turn out when we give homosexuals and transgendered people equal rights. For example when you compare the violent crime rates of all the states Hawaii always falls within the top 14 or 15. (On a weird tangent they are usually in the top 5 or 6 for car theft which seems weird - I mean where do you hide a stolen car when you're on an island?) They are also in the bottom 20 or 21 for sex offenders each year.
