Though I agree with you in the broader outline of your thesis, Addison, I think you have to ask 'Why?' when it comes to people looking the other way. It's all about self-preservation of a sort. And when an organization is led by someone perceived to be infallible in some way, then rot will ALWAYS happen. ALWAYS.

How many American Jews--who sanctimoniously intone "Never Again" at the mention of the Holocaust--lifted a finger to do something about Darfur?

So my protest of one injustice is invalid, unless I protest every injustice?

I think YOU are the one being sanctimonious here.

Addison, American Jews have worked to help those in Darfu.

So apparently, you hypothesis is just a wee bit flawed.

Pal Joey & YouWantitWhen--You both make perfectly valid points. I apologize and withdraw the illustration.

You think, what do you want? You think, make a decision...

So he took the money and ran.

Pretty ballsy of his family to ask for jet privileges.

Even though I think the fact that a university has a private jet is ridiculous.

I cannot speak for the rest of the Paterno family but his sons Jay and Scott are two complete idiots who are digging themselves further in a hole speaking publicly about the Freeh report and publishing a letter by their dead father that did nothing but spout the typical Penn State slogans. Totally inconsiderate of the victims and just protecting legacy at this point.

Rick Reilly, who wrote a 10-page piece on Paterno for Sports Illustrated in '86, writes an absolutely scathing piece about Paterno.

The sins of the father
