I hope he died in agonizing pain choking on his own bodily fluids. The price of his "legacy" was decades of child rape by one of his underlings that he countenanced.

They ought to dig up his corpse and feed it to wild dogs.

The difference between being motivated by honor and shame.

Honor is based on what you know about yourself. Shame is based on what others find out about you.

The ultimate example of the difference, IMO, is Christ. He was intentionally executed in the most shameful manner possible, but he remained through the ultimate exemplar of Honor.

An honorable man would have ensured that children were protected, regardless of the potential cost to himself or his “legacy.”

This is, BTW, not an uncommon temptation to those who have given their lives to a cause or institution. Protect it at all costs.

The Dreyfuss case in France springs to mind, as does the Church shifting priests around to keep their proclivities under wraps. But the examples are Legion.

How did Paterno get to take the fall while the gays took a walk? Penn State fired a coach a couple of years ago because she would not allow gays on her team.
