Lawson-Remer – what about censoring Huckleberry Finn, Of Mice and Men?
Encanto girl has a fan
Writing gives us a little hope for connecting with the outside world.
Writing is not always thankless
Ms. Georgeanne Hotchkiss, Mahalo for a beautiful read. (“The Encanto girl who wouldn’t give up writing”, Cover Stories, Nov. 6, 2024)

Ban bad drivers
Time for San Diego drivers to confess the truth. Except they are embarrassed and scared to accept this truth. (“Gloria Likes Bikes,” SD on the QT: Almost Factual News, Aug. 25, 2023) My name is Dan, aka “The Million Mile Man,” the subject of a CBS News documentary. Only a paltry million miles at age 71, walking, cycling and running on San Diego roads. Yeah, I’ve seen it all! All the pretenders, all the lazy motorists, all the dangerously insane motorists, all the indifferent motorists, all the callous motorists. And then comes the folly of Vision Zero, a city scheme to save lives by engineers who know nothing of human behavior. It would not be sad if were not a bad joke. It is time to criminalize errant driving and jail these people for the safety of our beloved city.

Lawson-Remer: true hypocrite
The letter (“Lawson-Remer extreme?”, (Letters, October 10, 2024) alerted me to an earlier article I had missed, titled “Stand with the Banned” (SD on the QT, September 20, 2024). The article used satire to show the extremism of County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer.
Isn’t it funny that “banned” books can be found for sale in numerous bookstores and elsewhere? Lawson-Remer should begin by being honest in the words she uses. Then she should knock off making nonsense statements such as “Right-wing, conservative extremists and politicians are trying to suppress certain viewpoints…”
Is she simply ignorant about left-wing challenges to books? Liberals have challenged Huckleberry Finn, Of Mice and Men, Gone with the Wind, and multitudes of others. And they don’t just go after schools and libraries. Liberals got six Dr. Seuss titles withdrawn from publication. They got the publisher of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to change the parts that liberals don’t like. (Later, complaints got the publisher to offer both versions.) Liberals got at least one streaming service to no longer offer To Kill a Mockingbird. They have gone after Amazon and other book stores to stop selling books they don’t like.
Lawson-Remer joins many of her fellow liberal politicians in deceiving the public about who wants to limit what we can read.
