LETTER: Common sense and mask usage

One thing is obvious about this COVID mess: People are still too willing to hate, to get angry and to point fingers. So many letters call people who are outdoors without a mask evil and say they are trying to kill others, increasing the spread of the virus, etc, etc. When they are asked how people are getting it who do not go out, who diligently wear a mask (like Gov. Steve Sisolak) and take all the precautions, they say it’s because someone else didn’t follow the rules and tried to kill others.

But maybe the virus just has greater potential to spread than we fallible humans have to interfere with it.

I will wear my mask indoors in public places and outdoors where there are many people, but I will not wear one in my vehicle. I will not carry a tracking program with me. I will not wear when hiking in rural areas with my dogs. I can show respect when there is a chance for my spreading it, but I will not bullied into wearing one where no one else can be infected, like in my home.

You can hate me, scorn me or throw a tantrum. But please keep your distance because you are probably more likely to create problems than I am. If you are so worried stay home.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Jacky Rosen, drug prices and inflation

I don’t believe she has malicious intentions, but at the very least she’s been thoughtless when considering the ramifications of how the overwhelming majority of her votes affect the very people who elected her.

LETTER: Fair share?

Politicians use “the rich” to divert attention from their reckless spending.

LETTER: Donald Trump not fit to be president

His loyalty is to himself and himself alone. He has neither the energy nor the ability to make complex decisions.

LETTER: Henderson City Council and all its pet projects

I do not question the importance of supporting the fire department. But I do question the importance and priority of projects the City Council regularly spends tax dollars on.

LETTER: Has Kamala Harris ever run a business?

Don’t just vote for someone you would invite to dinner. Vote for someone you would want to run your business.

LETTER: Nevada’s shoddy education system

Those thinking about moving here will be thinking how they are going to educate their children. Many will change their minds and look at other options.

LETTER: Does Jacky Rosen favor abortion up until birth?

Since her attack ads, which may or may not be true, on her Republican opponent, Sam Brown, are mainly about his stance on abortion, she should be able to articulate her stance.
