I say this in the fact that the writer is not looking and commenting on the perversity of his own city, but is willing to stand in moral judgment of a man who did what the letter of law required, and was not held criminally responsible for any action.

What Joe Paterno did at worst was turn a blind eye to what was happening around him. This is much less than Lot did, who offered his daughters to the Sodomites.

IF Scott Ostler has commented and condemned the immorality of his home city, then maybe he can comment on the PSU situation. However, the fact that he is still there after all these many years is prima facie that he has not.

OK. I'll accept your distinctions.

I guess what you said earlier could have just been worded a bit better...sounded too "absolutish"
