JOE PA, WE HARDLY KNEW YE

Irish philosopher Edmund Burke famously and correctly said “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”. Whether former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, an educated man in his own right was familiar with the writings of Mr. Burke, I cannot say. But such knowledge would have served him well. Failing that, he hopefully read “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, again with the same sad lesson. One you are aware of a crime you can’t become unaware. And I truly hope that other coaches, administrators and leaders who are facing a similar situation and test that Coach Paterno has failed, take heed.

E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
