'Humans Are Not a Science Experiment!'

The best of today's comments from Patch account-holders in your town and neighboring communities.

BETHEL: "I can only shake my head that the vocal minority of the town see it necessary to try and save the old town hall building but mostly let this building come down without a fight. Also, I refuse to agree with the idea that people only pay attention to their own era. Bethel does have a historical society which is always having events and has open doors for new members who want to learn and help. The key - make people see the excitement of history. But even so - whether or not one has the ability to see the historical aspect of this building, there's an even better reason to not tear it down... Because it is beautiful. On occasion I can understand tearing down the old... but there is no justification for destroying something beautiful." wrote this in response to the .

NORWALK: "Here, here! GMO foods should be labeled as such. Humans are not a science experiment!" wrote this in response to an article about an event attended by elected officials in support of the .

WESTON-REDDING-EASTON: "This is small potatoes. Why should rising gas prices result in increased revenue for the state? Shouldn't all the gas taxes be based on gallons instead of dollars? I have no control over the price of gas but I do have (some) control over how many gallons I use." wrote this in response to news that the for all gas sold at a wholesale price over $3 per gallon.

WESTPORT: "I am in tears after reading this. I also have a nephew - sweet, kind, shy, easy laugh - who is loved TOTALLY by his family but who struggled academically and socially. Very painful to watch. he has one friendship that has lasted over several years and the boys enjoy snowboarding, mountain biking and skateboarding. I hope Jessie finds at least one true, good friend also. What a treasure that is. My nephew's struggles have reminded me to value my friends and family." wrote this in response to an opinion piece by Heather Borden Herve about her .

I still have spots available for you to post a photo of your child (newborn - 4 years) on my votingRead More booth. This is a charitable fundraiser and 100% of the money raised from this year's contest goes to Newtown's First Responders and the My Sandy Hook Family Fund - the only charity that is giving every penny it collects to the 26 families who lost loved ones.

Thanks, G, and good point. Of course, those of us that are intelligent and sane have realized a longRead More time ago that Fox lies. Clearly lies. And distorts, and name calls, and spins spins spins. Newsmax is no better. But, the lying should not be allowed because there are some many in society that are gullible or just plain dumb - or both - so they actually believe these things to be true - not because they are true but because they WANT THEM to be true. It gives them self-justification for their hatred.

Rick - MAC gets his "news" and forms his "opinions" from Fox News, RushRead More Limbaugh, Newsmax, et al. His "opinions" are just a regurgitation of their opinions. Fox News has readily admitted in court that they lie, so they are not a real "news" organization - apparently they have the first amendment right to lie while posing as a news organization ... http://www.librarygrape.com/2009/06/court-fox-news-has-first-amendment.html#.UaFlKdi1vkc

Mac, Newsmax is not a valid source for news stories. It is an opinion web site, biased very stronglyRead More in one direction: conservatism. As for the facts, you have none. Just conjecture. There is no evidence that Obama knew anything about the Benghazi incident before it happened, there is no statement or evidence that Obama condones or even knew about the IRS tactics - and to call them "thugish" is just plain name calling. It was questioning and investigating - as they can and should do, just with a SLIGHT bias towards Tea Party groups (70 out of hundreds). So get your facts straight, stop the name calling and get over the presidential hatred. I'd like to hear your opinion about lying about weapons of mass destruction to get us into an illegal war in Iraq, or even your opinion of the Iran-Contra scandal - unless of course you believe it is only Democrats that are worthy of criticism.
