In future decades and centuries, our two recently created national monuments ’ Tule Springs Fossil Beds and Basin and Range ’ will join Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire and Lake Mead as cherished elements within Southern Nevada’s natural landscape. Such outdoor recreation opportunities attract a growing population of visitors who shun the bright lights of Las Vegas in favor of natural features.

The Perseid meteor shower blazed across our dark desert skies this past week, and I was fortunate enough to share the experience with a group of youths who had never even witnessed a meteor streak across the sky.

On a recent Friday night visit to the Fremont Street Experience, the street was full of panhandlers and half-naked men and women. It’s become a disgraceful circus atmosphere. I have lived here 38 years, and I have never seen such trash and disrespect for tourists and locals alike.

The solar industry puts power into the grid, meaning NV Energy has to produce less power. NV Energy then sells that solar power to its customers. What’s wrong with that? What a deal!

Robert Gardner’s letter attempts to answer how the gay marriage ruling harms Christians (“Gay marriage ruling,” July 27 Review Journal.). I would advise Mr. Gardner that millions of times each day in this country, businesses provide goods and services to paying customers who “violate God’s word.”

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles’ decision to stop the Dash Pass program showed the typical bureaucratic mentality of throwing the baby out with the bathwater (“DMV ends Dash Pass remote access,” July 23 Review-Journal). Any business in the private sector would have looked at the problems and developed changes that addressed those problems. Leave it to a bureaucracy to come up with a solution that will simply replicate the previous problem.

NV Energy has proposed to make 5 megawatts of solar power available to customers who want to reduce environmental pollution from coal and natural gas power plants, but who don’t install panels on their homes (“Plan would let Nevadans go solar without panels,” July 19 Review-Journal online). These customers would pay a rate higher than other customers currently pay for power. It is not clear, however, how NV Energy plans to assure customers that the power really comes from solar.

Joseph Molinaro’s July 21 letter to the editor, “Bearing arms,” made two very good points that I, someone he would consider the “anti-gun crowd,” completely agree with.

I totally disagree with the article on Latinos and the presidential election (“Vegas Hispanics say no to Trump, yes to a Democrat,” Monday Review-Journal). The majority of us will definitely not vote for Democrats. Democrats are trying to buy Latino votes by making false promises and offering free money (such as welfare).

Has Donald Trump become America’s Jester? In medieval times, the court jester was an established institution. The jester, often referred to as the fool, was exempt from the niceties of the court and could speak the truth without fear of punishment. In today’s parlance, he could tell it like it is, regardless of the consequences.
