* I feel that free speech is great, but when minors can
have access to adult material, that is wrong. Do away with those
dispensers.
Gloria Betts
* It does not mater to me, I
do not have kids, but if I had kids I would not want them tainted by
those type of publications. Ben W. TX
* Las Vegas has been and
should remain first and foremost a place for adults. They are a part of
the "adult" atmosphere. Leave the newspaper racks where they are and
leave the kids at home! Should people choose to bring their children
they need to exercise the extra precautions needed to keep them away
from these things. I have become very irritated in LV by children who
have been "turned loose" by their parents who did not want to be
bothered with them once they arrived and it certainly is not a safe
thing to do. I really do not enjoy constantly listening to grumpy
parents telling their whiny children who are saying (mom or dad) "I'm
bored", "no, I'm not giving you any more money. If people want to
vacation with their children they should go somewhere like Disneyworld
and spend their time with their children. Do Not go to Las Vegas and
turn them loose while they sit on a slot machine. Shelley
* They need to be removed
from the streets of Las Vegas. When my husband and myself go there @
first it was ok but the more we walked along the side walks the more we
seen thrown along the streets. I love Vegas and the "scum" that makes a
living off of this type of work will not make me change my mind about
the city. But, they need to put this type of material in a appropriate
place ( adult book store), (bar's), where children should not be.
As for the mothers with the baby strollers handing out the card's What
kind of example are they setting for the future generation? I don't get
it but that is my opinion.... Cynthia Leshko Tamaqua PA
* None of these items should
either be left out on public streets or be handed out to passers by
unless otherwise requested. The material is often handed to minors who
fail to understand what the implications are or the fees that can be
charged by contacting some of these advertising pamphlets even by phone.
Also many of these unwanted and unsolicited flyers end up on the street
creating litter that must be eventually cleaned up at tax payer expense.

* The papers along with the gnags
that hand out those cards Must Go! An ordinance needs to be created that
bans them. The racks should not be accessible to anyone - charge a
quarter or something so children cannot just open them and see the
contents. Also, one should not be able to see the contents/cover - they
should be blacked out with only the name of the product inside. This is
a matter of the contents be only for over 21. Mayor Goodman must
be able to come up with a plan to end this side of old Las Vegas. It's
time has come. Mark Lawrence
* No don't need that junk on the
streets. get them off the streets. G.J. Smith
* Take the smut off the streets --
it's unsuitable for youngsters, as well as some "oldsters". Joanne

* They should limit the access of
publications that contain nudity. They should limit them to areas
that only adults visit such as inside Bars, strip joints, or highly
supervised areas. They should eliminate the ability of someone to hand
out these publications where they can litter the streets. This would be
allowed under the provision that local governments can restrict free
speech if it conflicts with local "decency" laws. In this case,
"indecent" is the litter, and the ability for children to see the images
unsupervised. Also, the congregation of people who hand out the
literature almost serves to "block" reasonable access and movement of
crowds on the sidewalks. Scottmonfort
* Yes leave the papers in the
street, Las Vegas is an Adult town , kids shouldn't be there. Pat
