[Tex-Con-Man]

It's hard to imagine that a man responsible for the character development, as well as the physical well-being of so many young men could be so ill-equipped for the job. What is the point of sports as a metaphor for life's lessons if you won't protect them from real world evil?

The more I learn about Paterno’s handling of this, the angrier I get. He treated this heinous act like some low level DMV bureaucrat. Pass it along, and it's no longer my problem.

Paterno was a campus god, he could have demanded action.

remember...Catholics have been tradionally taught that everyone sins, everyone has "problems" and we are not to judge...we are to forgive...

there is one long standing school of thought that these perverts need forgiveness, because their perversions were "sins" afterall..and everyone sins...

this is one reason why that tiny minority of Catholic priests who have proved beyond doubt to have been abusers, were shuffled away, not turned into the cops, given "treatment" etc...some misguided thought that prayer and treatment was all that was needed....

now we know that perversions can not be easily overcome, that pedophlia is not curable, only controlled, restrained...
