LETTER: Let’s get moving on reopening Las Vegas

I would like to ask everyone who does not want to halt this nonsensical shutdown why they oppose a reopening of Las Vegas? No one is going to make you leave your home. You can shelter in place for as long as you want.

Almost everything you need can be delivered.

Worried about losing your job? I have news for you: If your job still exists — which is less likely every day — you are going to lose it because no employer is going to wait for you to feel comfortable about contracting this virus. Why? Because that day will never come. This virus will always be there. If a vaccine evolves, it is unlikely to be any more effective than the flu vaccine.

So if you are scared of this virus, which may be less deadly than the seasonal flu, stay home. But don’t make the rest of us suffer. It doesn’t make any sense.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
