We love it when folks comment on older posts -- especially when their takes are timely. A case in point: A March 2012 item in which Patricia Calhoun deemed state Senator Tim Neville the Schmuck of the Week for likening the Obama administration to Nazis. One reader thinks this comparison suddenly makes a lot of sense.

The tragic death of Anastasia Adair, who accidentally killed herself with her new assault rifle, sparked an online conversation about whether guns promote safety or actually create more dangers. Here's a comment who thinks using such incidents as an argument for a ban is as ridiculous as... well, as this.

Last week, we posted about Patrick Ward, the man charged with assorted vehicular crimes related to the death of cyclist Michel Van Duym in Lyons. Ward's past negative comments about cycling reignited the debate between cyclists and drivers. Here's one especially interesting take on the subject.

Yesterday, we posted about claims by Focus on the Family founder James Dobson that the IRS had discriminated against one of his other operations for political reasons. This alleged mistreatment put Dobson back in the public eye, and his reappearance took one of our readers by surprise.

Yesterday, Dr. Christian Thurstone told us he fears marijuana users in search of bigger and bigger highs may soon turn to injecting THC. Lots of readers weighed in on this possibility, with the one highlighted here speculating about what kind of people would, and wouldn't, give THC injection a shot, as it were.
Our most recent post about quadruple murderer Nathan Dunlap featured a letter from a former Chuck E. Cheese worker who survived the 1993 massacre at the restaurant because she took the night off to babysit. Her words inspired one reader who was a friend of someone who wasn't so fortunate -- and his thoughts are passionate indeed.

Last week, Byron Graham wrote about the upcoming transition of Byers junior high from an unofficial dog park to a Denver School of Science and Technology charter school. One pet lover sees that as good news, even though it means finding a new place for her pooch.
Last week, we shared the story of a Cherokee Trail High School student who managed to sneak the quote "When the red river's a'flowing, take the dirt road home" past a yearbook adviser, but got in trouble after the grownups figured it out. One of our readers not only wasn't offended by the quote, but found it preferable to another common phrase.
It was a sad moment yesterday when "Budd Jones," who appeared on the web a week or so ago to urge (very) frequent commenter DonkeyHotay to mellow out, seemed to be signing off. In a response to a post (and many DonkeyHotay comments) about a likely lawsuit over the new law that would treat pot publications like porn, he wrote: "Ok Guys ...you can have your forum back now...have work to do. Respect each other always."
But Budd Jones simply can't give up his quixotic mission to make DonkeyHotay see reason.

Yesterday, we detailed the arguments in a clemency petition for Nathan Dunlap, who's slated to be put to death for killing four people at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1993. But the many arguments made by Dunlap's representatives failed to sway one reader, who also believes the Aurora theater shooter deserves to pay the ultimate penalty.
