WWII battleships weren't built in S.F.

Reading the Associated Press article by Beth Duff-Brown on San Francisco's historic Pier 70 [RGJ, Feb. 6], I was surprised to see that,

Roundups necessary to protect desert

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:51:00 00

Those who love Nevada and its beautiful deserts and back country need to support the BLM's efforts to manage the wild horse population. The Great Basin Desert is the largest desert in North America.

Protesters should register with Green Party

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:51:00 00

We can see from the protests all over the world no country is above killing its citizens for protesting too much. The need for Hummers roaming our streets should show people things are getting out of hand with the power of both political parties.

More research needed into Alzheimer's disease

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:50:00 00

A national strategic plan for Alzheimer's disease is urgent, achievable and accountable and needed for trajectory change. Nationwide, an estimated 5.4 million Americans are living with AD, including at least 29,000 in Nevada.

Letter writer's creative expression appreciated

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:49:00 00

I agree with Ms. Doerr's evaluation of Karl Breckenridge's single sentence on Reno education [Letters, Feb. 4]. His prose is both witty and insightful, but it is not, as she mentioned, a "run-on" sentence.

Jesus doesn't sanction his anti-life policies

Last election, President Obama presented himself to the people as the reincarnation of Martin Luther King Jr..

Has Nevada led nation astray again?

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:32:00 00

Regarding Mitt Romney's win of the Nevada caucus: Before anyone in the political world hails his win here as a rising tide and a ringing endorsement, please remember this: This is the same state that inflicted this fair nation with Harry Reid.

Don't make issues political footballs

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:31:00 00

The recent brouhaha between the Susan G. Komen and Planned Parenthood organizations was very unfortunate.

Rove is out of touch with nation's reality

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:29:00 00

Did anyone else catch Karl Rove's comment about the Occupy movement:

Put crossing guard at Reed H.S., too

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:28:00 00

I must take this opportunity to comment to my friend Karl Breckenridge ["Reno High School needs crossing guard," Feb. 3]. While Dr. Morrison is at it, please add crossing guards at Edward C. Reed High School as well.

Nevada needs a primary to give voice to all

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:25:00 00

I am formally stating here, and filing this as a complaint, that this caucus stuff is pure garbage. One, it does not allow all GOP members to have a say in the process.

If Romney loses, I'll pick Obama

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:24:00 00

"Dead men don't vote." That's what a Florida guy told Chip Reid of CBS. I didn't get his point, but I guess that's why politicians don't campaign in cemeteries. At 85, I don't even take tomorrow for granted, let alone Nov.

I've enjoyed watching GOP act like fools

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:22:00 00

I enjoyed the recent confrontations the GOP candidates have had with each other the last few months. Nevada was no exception.

Why do so many protestors wear masks?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:35:00 00

We all have question... 1. If the Occupy protesters are so dedicated to valid and important issues for the country, why do so many of them wear masks to hide their identity in the only truly free country on Earth? 2.

Remove 'entitlements' from retirement plan

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:35:00 00

We need to reform Medicare and Social Security, and the solutions are easy. First, Medicare should not be for people who do not pay into the system. That's socialism! Establish a minimum number of working years with a threshold of dollar contributions.

List of winter fires ignores Queen Way

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:34:00 00

It troubles me that the December fire that started north of Queen Way and ended up in the Highland Ranch homes a few years ago is overlooked as a historic winter fire event.

Only businesses can produce wealth

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:33:00 00

Ms. Fulkerson's letter promoting big government [Voices, Feb. 6] left out additional plusses: More government union workers means more taxpayers that will support hiring even more government union workers.

Sunday's Voices was a hysterical delight

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:32:00 00

I look forward to reading the editorials, even on Super Bowl Sunday. Sunday morning was a hysterical delight because Michael Sion explained why I get so angry before any televised sporting event. He exposed the atrocities of the nitwits who "soul" the Nat

GOP wants us to forget what happened before

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:31:00 00

Friday's job report proves the Republicans wrong again! Republicans want us to forget the past and provide them the reins to our country in to the future. Just think: The last time we trusted them ... that didn't work out so well.

Where's the diversity in Republican Party?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:30:00 00

Where's the diversity? Watching the local TV coverage of the Nevada caucuses, I saw hardly any blacks, Hispanics, Asians or young people in the audience.
