LETTERS: It’s time to stop bashing, start supporting Roos-N-More

After reading the Review-Journal article on the Roos-N-More zoo, I had a flashback to my childhood in Chicago, where I would ride my bicycle to the Brookfield Zoo (“Moapa zoo cleared to reopen,” Oct. 22 Review-Journal). I would pay my quarter to see the animals, eat a lunch my mom packed and enjoy nature. That was 50 years ago.

LETTERS: Gun-free zones only protect the evil

It was terrible to hear about the horrible massacre at Umpqua Community College (“Oregon massacre,” Oct. 2 Review-Journal). It was another senseless mass killing in a gun-free zone, and another excuse for President Barack Obama to try to destroy the Second Amendment by taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. Then, only bad guys will have guns.

LETTERS: Benghazi hearing just more political theater

On Oct. 22, I watched part of Hillary Clinton’s hearing on Benghazi before a House committee (“Clinton withstands GOP grilling over Benghazi,” Oct. 23 Review-Journal). What was it, the eighth, 10th or 15th hearing on the subject?

LETTERS: Clinton campaign has offered many smart specifics

Is the Review-Journal just not paying attention? Or are we seeing a display of willful ignorance regarding Hillary Clinton’s policies? The “Demand specifics” editorial (Sept. 26 Review-Journal) claimed that the policies Mrs. Clinton has outlined lack specifics. No other candidate has rolled out as many policies with as much detail as Mrs. Clinton.

LETTERS: Education, training, licensing create great teachers

Jack Oliver’s letter suggests that an acceptable solution to the public school teacher shortage in Southern Nevada is to “eliminate the need for a college degree in order to teach in our schools.” Following that logic, the solution to Southern Nevada’s shortage of doctors must be to eliminate the requirement that doctors complete medical school — or even a pre-med undergraduate degree — in order to practice medicine.
