This is the seventh draft of this column.

The first six drafts were riddled with too many words that would have gotten me permanently banned from writing any more columns, so I had to try to tone things down.


TOPICS: News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: paterno; pedstate; pennstate; psu; sandusky

"Would you have done likewise if the person dishing out the abuse was your boss, the one who signs your paycheck and could seriously undermine your career?"

If I remotely suspected my boss was raping little boys, I would quit and seek employment elsewhere. 10 years into my Army career I resigned my commission over much less.

“Glee” and all the rest of the pro-homosexuality brainwashing is “grooming.”

It’s what Sandusky did, but on a societal level.

I don’t know if they did this on purpose, but at the savannahnow link to this article, there is a banner ad from a local dry cleaners with words in bold print:

DROP YOUR PANTS HERE!

Ohio State fans are pretty classy, but it’s a good thing the PSU doesn’t play Duke in Durham. That would get nasty.

I’m not saying it will necessarily be Ohio State fans giving them that welcome...although I can’t imagine the OSU student body not coming up with the ingenious ways of expressing their disdain, especially in light of Ohio State getting punished for things that pale in comparison to what happened in Gay Valley.

All those news articles and movies and tv shows aggrandizing homosexuality and irresponsible sex

You're not allowed to bring this up. Focus on football.

Would love to see Penn State play Stanford in a bowl game. The Stanford band might have an interesting take on this situation.

Did the ACLU ask for any donations for their defense fund for past and future court cases involving the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)?

It would appear they are very successful in getting NAMBLA’s message disseminated and implemented.

"A young, male, strong, athletic person should have done no less."

Everybody concurs,...which leads us to consider the 'WHY' of his lack of action and the 'HOW' of his subsequent behavior.

He might not be a proven criminal, but his thinking is corrupt. So 'WHAT' motivates the corrupt mind to interrupt proper response?

His delayed response indicates he carefully thought about 'WHEN' to respond and to "WHOM" he responded.

There were reasons for his actions. Had he simply replaced LEOs with the role of Joe Paterno, then his reporting of the situation would have been forthright and quickly reported, not delayed and circumspect.

If he had been innocent and just exposed to a convoluted power game involving multiple players, he wouldn't have gone fishing with Paterno.

Then again this assumes he behaved rationally.

While it is true that the cashier was an anonymous stranger, I have also (in the past when I was MUCH younger and perhaps more foolish), admonished my boss over something I felt was unjust. I was fired from a VERY good job in the phone Company.

I guess that just makes me a busybody. LOL.

And my sister lost her job as an accountant for a nursing home when she noted to her boss the irregularities in billing medicaid that bordered on fraud.

That being said, the rape of a minor child is more egregious than anything I have witnessed. One is reminded of Kitty Genovese being being assaulted on the streets of NYC and nobody coming to her aid. It is symptomatic of a deep deficit in our culture.

I can’t imagine this happening 50 years ago.

I think the word “corrupt”is the key here.

Read the first chapter of the Book of Romans for further elaboration.

I do believe you have hit the nail on the head, my FRiend.

Penn State should be banned from ALL athletic events for 10 years. That’s just for a start. Then we find out all the names of those who knew and prosecute them. Twenty-five to life is about right, but I’m a softie.

Re: “And my sister lost her job as an accountant for a nursing home when she noted to her boss the irregularities in billing medicaid that bordered on fraud.”

Then she should have taken the crooked books to the Feds because there is a reward for turning people in for defrauding the Federal Government. I hope she did.
