'Closing the Barn Door Long After the Horse is Gone'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

"Yet, global warming is a myth." -

"Closing the barn door long after the horse is gone. The state and other states surrounding LI sound killed the lobsters trying to prevent West Nile. Unintended consequences." -

"Women have been objectified in every form of media.... forever. It is about time that male objectification becomes part of the conversation." -

"There must be some way we can cut costs, lower taxes and get something useful out of these creeps. Killing them just rubs me the wrong way and not because I like them." -

"The University could do a lot more to squash the problem of off campus misbehavior by holding those students more accountable and kicking them out of school when there are problems. I don't understand why this is such an issue." -

"I would definitely quit my job. However, I would volunteer my time to non-profit organizations. I would decide on which organiztions I would work with while sitting in a vineyard in Tuscany!" -

There is a relatively new playscape at posypanko for town use. The one at Center School is fromRead More before QFS was built. The monkey bars are too small for the kids to even fit under. My point is if there is money to spend, and we want a playscape, how about fixing one that is used everyday.

why does it need to cost so much is what I wanna know... 138K...that's half of what I paid for myRead More house and land! Sounds like someones got 138K that's burning a hole in their pocket. Cant we find a less expensive playscape the kids would enjoy? or have it built by volunteers? maybe some of the very numerous contractors and builders living in Oxford would volunteer some time and skill to this project or better yet, some of these out of town builders who are throwing up McNeighborhoods in town would like to kick in some time and materiel for this? Heck If they wanna build here in town, they can start with a playscape..no?

How about lowering taxes for once. Or not making the people that were screwed by a croupt townRead More offical pay the debts that the town says they now owe. Why not run a surplus or add to rainy day fund. Why do we as the town of oxford need to spend it just because its there? Let's rethink this plan there are plenty of parks and we cn find a different way to fund this one. Or here's a novel idea let's get garbage pick up for the town.
