"True colors!" Representative Fukumoto serves in the true fashion and spirt of democracy. Some of her ideas may not mesh with the democrats, so she considers herself a republican, and I say, "good for her". Mainly she does her best to represent her district and the people therein, which is what we expect of a representative of the people.....one must not put one's personal ideology first. These nasty people who shouted her down are acting disrespectfully towards our system of democracy, which seems to be the pattern of Mr. Trump. He excoriates others who are not of his color, or financial means. He is bellicose and seems quite intent on fostering international conflict. We all know that there are people in the islands who hate the rest of us, maybe there are differences in color, or culture, or language, or the way we drive our cars or the way we dress, or our age, or whatever. For the most part, the island way is to get along, to be harmonious, but we won't be run over by ideologues.
