I still think of a parallel time; and Michael Jackson and how our 'culture' and popular media covered that debacle. Not eight boys; but a house full of them and for years. Who stepped up to protect any of these children or even a few who most likely were victimized by Jackson. Those who accused; were of course; labeled as racist.

This may have little to do; save for a 'culture of corruption' does just that. It can erode Will and common sense; and invite silence. Could not help but contrast Geraldo's reaction to this abuse; compared with his constant defense of Jackson; whom; IMHO; did not deserve such uncritical inquiry.

What I do not understand, is how Sandusky was not watched more carefully; warned; or for that matter fired, from the get go; and yes; maybe above scenario gives some semblance of truth here. We do not know.

Of course the DA who was to prosecute; disappeared. No doubt a climate of fear; wrapping itself around some disbelief per human nature to make this all into something other than the damning violation that it was.

As for Paterno; seeing is not always believing; and hearing what someone saw; all the easier to deny. 'False memory syndrome' works both ways.

Remains incredible that doing the right thing; from the beginning seemed an impossibility; a bargain with devil; by everyone's rationale involved.

My loathing of Michael Jackson has so few bounds that I actually believe “Conrad Birdie” (as I call him), should have walked. He was doing us all a favor.

For the record, the only thing I agree with in this interesting theory is that the McQueary guy may have been molested. It might (I say “might”) explain his awful response.

Between this and the Occupiers of Obama, I do believe evil is afoot in our land and that for some of us baby boomers (me!), the end is not going to be as nice as the beginning...
