Self-righteousness is UGLY.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Agree 1000%. I cried too, half for the loss of a great man and half

for the horrible circumstances of his final months.

When I went to school near Penn State, it was the shining star, and Joe
was the saint. I have admired him all my life, and I still do.

These feelings IN NO WAY diminish the outrage of what Sandusky did
and the horror his victims must have felt. Admiring and loving JoePa
and hating what happened are not mutually exclusive.

But life is not always as black and white as people make it out to be. I
for one, have learned a lesson from all of this - because I am sure I
have done the same in regard to other people. And seeing the
horrible comments on this board have reinforced how wrong it is.

People are not perfect, and it's very sad that there is an inability
to put yourself in the shoes of an old man, an ill man, who had not known
such horrible things ("I never heard of a rape of a man&quot , who did
all he knew to do, pass this on to the people who ran the school.

It is hard to imagine, being in a huge conglomerate like PSU, or many
people who would buck their bosses and go outside the chain.

Thanks for your post !!
