Joe Paterno made the statement: “In hindsight I wish I had done more.”
What a horrible indictment of Joe Paterno! And in his own words.
‘Joe Paterno made the statement: “In hindsight I wish I had done more.”
Heck, I’ve said that when the full light of things became apparent. Until that moment, I had no idea.
““In hindsight I wish I had done more.” ———— What a horrible indictment of Joe Paterno! And in his own words.”
I think everyone has that thought toward the end of their life - I wish I had done more.
Of you had any experience with type of issue, you would know that good people are very often in denial about the possibility that someone they know could be a pedophile because pedophilia is so far out of their own experience. They find it so abhorrent that they just can’t deal with it because it threatens to destroy the way they view the world. This reaction is much more common among older people who did not grow up with the internet and X-rated movies on TV.
What a horrible indictment of Joe Paterno! And in his own words.“I certainly couldn’t walk into the office and accuse a guy of something that I didn’t witness or know to be true. I didn’t know that he’d done all of that stuff. I had no idea. I just didn’t know.”. . . . “In hindsight I wish I had done more.”
Well, at least Mr. Paterno wasn’t guilty of that, at least in this case.The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral SentimentsNot so sure about all the quick judges around here, tho . . .
