I think yours is the best post on this thread. It's intelligent and on point like none of the rest.

Joe Paterno was essentially a sideshow to the dark goings-on at Penn State, but he keeps getting all the attention because he was mega-famous. Even on this thread people are acting like everything that went down was essentially about Paterno. That is herd psychology. People are starving for a bete noire in this story, and only iconic types like Paterno can fill those shoes. Sandusky was never famous enough for that role.

No, the Paterno acoloytes are acting like JoPa was a saint who could do no wrong.

Thanks for your kind words. I took a look at your home page and I would invite each and every FReeper to take a look as well. Your concept of Personal Secularism being imposed by government schools is absolutely on the money. We see the effect in last year's election results.

May God bless you and yours!
