LETTER: Here’s something to consider when you vote for president this year

I read with great interest Victor Joecks’ Feb 18 column on “A case for God.” One has to remember three things.

First, there is not a scientist in the world who can explain what came first, the chicken or the egg. Second, as comedian Steven Wright once said, “If we evolved from monkeys and apes, why are there still monkeys and apes?” Third, understand your own complexity. What makes us so different from other animals? Why were we given dominion?

The truth is that many of us believe in God, but our lifestyles prevent us from admitting it. Wouldn’t want to lose friends over it. God bless us and protect us all.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way
Martha Olson Las Vegas

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy
Bruce A. Kesselman Las Vegas

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Bill Minarik Las Vegas

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
