‘That’s a Whole Lot of Arrows, Folks’

A controlled deer hunt and the state of hate in today's world are just two of the topics that got readers talking.

 

Weston Selectmen OK Controlled Deer Hunt 

“So, when are we having mouse/bird/chipmunk/squirrel and every other living creature hunt(s) that walk/fly the wooded areas since they ALL carry ticks? Seriously, we must rid the forests of every living, breathing warm blooded creature there is to eliminate the tick cycle. That's a whole lot of arrows, folks.” –

Hate is Getting Us Nowhere   

“There isn't any more or less hate in the world than there has ever been, its just that its much easier to be exposed to it now because of TV, internet, etc.” -

“Shut them down...what better way to send the message that we are not going to stand for this?” –

Fairfield's Nurses to Get Raises, Agree to Concessions in New Contract

“Over two years without a raise. Oh the horror!” – 

“Nice comment Biff, you try going to a job for two years without a raise. I am not a town nurse but it sucks. These nurses can easily go to another town job OR a hospital and probably get their deserved raise or be paid more.” – 

“Public sector employees often take these jobs because of the benefits, not because of the salary. Many of these municipal jobs would pay far more for comparable work done in the private sector, without the benefits. So until these people make comparable private sector salaries, quit complaining about what they have that you don't. Many are tax payers in town too!” –

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" if fallacious at best, disingenuous at worst.
