"Whoever won, it surely wasn't the American people."

Once again, it was a week dominated by politics and our readers had lots to say on the topic.

When we asked who won the debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Paul Ryan, here's what people said.

"Whoever 'won,' it surely wasn't the American people."

"Confidence and Arrogance are very easy to confuse, especially when one has a bias opinion regarding that individuals character."

One helpful reader even broke down the media polls for us.

"CNBC, Ryan 56%-36%, CNN Ryan, 48%-44%, AP Ryan, 51%-43%, 
CBS Biden, 50%-31%."

On a more domestic side, we saw cooler temperatures crop up (so much that some of us had to bring our plants inside and finally face the summer is definitely over) and asked when people turned their heat on.

"Last winter my wife and I did not turn our heat on once! This year we're going to hold out as long as we can, but expect to turn it on at some point since we have a new puppy."

"Right after Labor Day the Thermostat is turned on, the heating system tested and ready to go when the inside falls below 70."

And the issue of whether or not Boston should muzzle pit bulls definitely hit a nerve.

"This is crazy. Pit bulls are no more dangerous than other breeds. It just happens to be that a lot of people train them to be vicious. All dogs need to be trained. They are actually a very sweet, protective breed. It's unfair to single them out."

"I'm not a fan of pit bulls, but more so because of some of the people who own them and not the dogs themselves. I've happened upon mostly friendly pit bulls while walking the streets of Boston. All dogs should be restrained with leashes when out of their homes...and the owners have to have total control over their animals in public."

"I don't believe in breed specific bans. Dogs should be under their guardian's control in public. That might mean muzzles for some, leashes for most and maybe just voice controls for a few rare pups. But just to make the humans err on the side of caution, maybe all guardians should be held responsible for any acts of violence by their furry charges as if they committed the acts themselves. Those kinds of repercussions would get folks' attention."

"I saw a guy with a couple of pitbulls, who were on leashes but not muzzled. Those dogs did not look any too friendly!"
