I am a long-time reader of Rolling Stone magazine and I will continue to be. While driving around, I found that the August issue was not delivered to many local stores. I then started making calls to Hudson Distributors (who should have delivered the publication ) and was bounced around to several people.

Strange that they don’t mind delivering several adult magazines and publications that surely many people in my demographic don’t care to read.

I applaud the Rolling Stone’s cover decision. I believe it brings awareness to how anyone can have the face of a monster, even if they look like a scruffy-haired college kid.

How many times did Osama bin Laden make the cover of hundreds of publications after 9/11?

The photo shows that a terrorist could be a neighbor, schoolmate or co-worker.

I applaud the editors’ reasoning about educating people on how and why this person became who he is, bringing awareness to radical Islam.

I also find it a huge freedom of speech and press issue. When people start censoring — taking away the people’s choices of what to read, write, and which publications to buy — that is opening up something very dark and scary.

If a person doesn’t like a magazine or it offends them, they just shouldn’t buy it or read it.

Where is Larry Flynt when he is needed?

I want an answer from Hudson News.
