Like wild horses in the Nevada Canyons, only not as pretty or self sufficient, the Las Vegas man of Nevada considers himself to be a Libertarian. Now a Libertarian believes the less government the better.-
But let's take a look at what the Nevada man really says when he speaks "Libertarian"
"The less government the better-no one has the right to be in my business-"
what this really translates into is a mandate for legalized prostitution, legalized drug use, loose alcohol and gambling restrictions, and no responsibilities toward the community in which one resides.
The Las Vegas man can be spotted in the comments section of both local newspapers railing about less government spending and regulation. Regular commentary from this species usually entails the ranting about the uselessness of children and encouraging the closing of public schools, the disgust with single women and children, anyone needing help, disabled, mentally ill, elderly-
one might believe Hitler's ancestors sent their remaining genes disguised as men to Las Vegas to set up a pure, healthy, white race of humans, preferably "just men" because women can be purchased for a few hours.
Trucks abound in Nevada. Not a state to worry about conservation of any resource except the money in the Las Vegas man's wallet, he sees women as entertainment, ignoring laws and rules as his right, and the only responsibility he claims is for himself.
You won't find this man on Match.com, nor will he ever claim to be lonely or in need of long term companionship.
As long as he has a paycheck, he has all he needs.
A beer or a joint in hand, a roll of the dice, a hook up from the night club, a working truck, and he is good to go.

Welcome, Midwest and East Coast to
90 degrees ? A luxury in summertime Las Vegas. Anything under 100-comfortable.
While those in the Midwest and on the East coast complain about the heat they might want to take a look at the hottest cities and learn how to cope.
Unfortunately many cities aren't equipped to deal with the heat as well as Las Vegas.
1. Acclimate yourself to the heat by going outside in it during early mornings and evenings. Stay out of the days hottest hours if possible. Amazing but true-lots of people actually work out in the heat and get used to it.
They drink lots of water and wear sun protection but it is doable.
2. Las Vegans turn their days and nights around when possible. Las Vegas is a 24 hour town. Shopping can be done at night.
In fact, most of what you want to do can be after sundown with the exception perhaps of going to the bank.
Early evening is a perfect time to get those prescriptions filled, hit the library, go to Walmart.
3. If you must go into the daytime heat, plan your trips to cover as much as possible. Hit the bank, any chores requiring 9-5 hours in one trip. Stay indoors the rest of the time.
4. Turn your nights into days. Sleep during the day and work during the night. Clean your house at 2am. You will have more energy when the air is cooler and the suns glare is gone.
5. Keep moving. The heat makes us lazy. In the desert, summer is our winter. Most people gain weight in the summer and lose it in the winter. Take early morning walks, garden or mow the lawn at sunrise or sunset.
Heat really does make us lazy.
6. Take water everywhere. Dehydration is not only dangerous in the early stages it makes people grumpy. Grumpy people are bad drivers, poor customers and lousy neighbors. Drink water!
7. The heat harms babies and the elderly must faster than the rest of the population. Infants bodies don't regulate temperatures like adults. Heat can be deadly. Keep them indoors if possible, if not, cover them with a light cotton blanket in the sun, give lots of fluids, keep their skin out of the suns glare.
8. Older adults whacked by the heat can suffer strokes and heart failure with excessive exposure. Check on your parents and neighbors.
9. Stay positive. Makes the difference between road rage and tolerance.
Las Vegans can be ugly drivers in the heat. Our insurance rates prove it.
