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.
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.
The article about the Metropolitan Police Department paying a large settlement to a woman falsely accused of being a prostitute at the Cosmopolitan makes me aware of what a total scam these so-called prostitution sweeps are.
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?
The Social Security Administration has advised there will not be a cost-of-living raise for 2016 because gasoline prices are so low. What? What intellect thought up this excuse?
Letters from Kenneth F. Hines, Tom Hoover and Carolyn Bradley
Kudos to the Review-Journal editorial board for taking a position on how our nation can dramatically improve the care of our veterans (“Privatize VA,” Monday Review-Journal).
