You’re defending Paterno?

[Nextrush]

Here in PA Joe Paterno was put on too high a pedestal.

“Joe Paterno is God” is what my Penn State student buddy used to say way back in 1980 and he didn’t like the notion either.

But trashing him and hounding him out of his job for what Sandusky did was going too far.

Paterno acknowledged he made mistakes. We all do, we are sinners.

Joe Paterno did a lot of good work with a lot of young men and we better see that instead of being a bunch of witch hunters.

The world is filled with too much of that, driven by drugs and alcohol and pornography. Drunk, drugged, dazed people quick to snap and judge other people harshly on a dime.

People using the real or imagined wrongs of others to ignore their own wrongdoing.
