"The Other Two Are Like Voting for Nader"

The day's best comments from Patch account-holders in our Fairfield County towns.

BROOKFIELD: “I would love to see people (especially women) getting as whipped up about income disparity, how much more we pay for health insurance than men or one of the other real issues women face as we are about this non-issue.” — That’s what Brookfield Patch account-holder said on today’s “Patch In” piece from is causing people of every gender to lose focus on more important issues. To Laura and others, stay tuned this week for “Patch Back,” a response piece from Patch columnist Lisa Bigelow.

NEWTOWN: “If people are speeding, arrest them, throw their asses in jail and take their cars! The speeding will stop!” — So said Patrick J Lombard on Newtown Patch’s Facebook page, responding to an article on .

STAMFORD: “Texas tax cheats, harsh statement?” — That’s what said in response to this , which says city taxpayers and schoolchildren are suffering. Why? Because Stamford is losing the tax benefit that would come with involvement of a local builder in a closely followed building project in the city’s South End.

TRUMBULL: “She is very enthusiastic, patient and a positive role model for my daughter.” — That’s what one Trumbull Patch account-holder, , said about in Patch’s continuously updated directory of businesses in town. Reviews posted there will be found by future readers on each Patch.

WILTON: “Please remove orems and outback from this conversation. Marleys, Luca and Schoolhouse are the only real contenders. [The] other two are like voting for Nader.” — Great comment here from on —best steak to be had in a local restaurant.

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.

Well, realistically, you won't get speed bumps (they just don't do that on public streets) but youRead More might get a speed trap once in a while. I drive this road every weekday and am just as appalled as you are by the speeding. And let me tell you, it's not always youngsters. I've seen a few blue-haired old ladies ride my bumper on that street. We have a similar problem on Barn Hill, another long stretch of road where drivers feel the need for speed. What I can't figure out (with all due respect) is why anybody with half a brain would choose either of those streets for their morning or evening walk. That's just tempting fate.

I found that I could turn them off in my profile under e-mail settings. However, it appears thatRead More this is now an all or nothing rather than by selected posts or individual articles.

Hi Steve, The comment stream doesn't appear on the homepage in the new design. Some of the sitesRead More that went 2.0 before mine did heard complaints about that. I don't know if it will be changed or not. Right now Patch is gathering all feedback.
