Re: “Weathering the storm” by Kate Gonzales (Scene & Heard, October 11):

Women deserve control over their bodies—all the way. Remember Senator Leroy Greene? He advocated the legalization of prostitution. He was a man of vision. Ask yourself: why is prostitution illegal? Do you have a good answer?

A witch hunt fan, obviously

Re: “Anger and change” by Rachel Leibrock (Editor’s Note, October 4):

Obviously you are a Salem witch hunt fan. A “man-hater” who runs around with a “pussy hat” on supporting any hysterical, probably mentally ill woman who failed at life and “blame men” not themselves. “Women don’t lie,” what a crock! Why is it you only believe charges against Republicans? Do you want me to send a list of Democrat office holders with sexual assault charges against them that you females of virtue ignore like king of sexual assault Bill Clinton? … A lot of people reading your “note” are laughing at you; just another crazy toxic female I would never want to date, hire or marry.

Of somber importance

Re: “After the war” by Scott Thomas Anderson (Feature, October 4):

Thank you for writing pieces like these. Very somber, but also very informative about this issue with the Hmong community.

Think free?

Re: “Anger and change” by Rachel Leibrock (Editor’s Note, October 4):

As usual for you independent thinkers, don’t let the facts get in the way. Mob rule is always better than the law.

Business in conflict

Re: “Improvement or exclusion” by Dylan Sbvoda (News, October 11):

One thing that isn’t mentioned that is of concern is that [Mayor] Darrell Steinberg, and the other city council members sit on the Board of Directors of these [business improvement districts]. As does Norm Leong of the Sacramento Police Department.

That SN&R monopoly

Are you at SN&R an equal employment opportunity employer? I feel the need to ask knowing Trump supporters are more than you can count on your readers’ fingers. Yet, your magazine employs only liberal writers. Seeing how you have a monopoly in the corner of SacTown as the only “alternative news,” I can only hope that someday the personal views of the writers control the content … not the personal opinion of the CEO/President Jeff vonKaenel or the left editors. Reading your magazine is becoming a chore. And since I don’t smoke pot, you have wasted a lot of paper each week on us that don’t. Which, I hope, is most of us clear thinkers.
