If Paterno definitely knew exactly what was going on and covered things up then I would be the first person writing that he must not only be fired immediately but also put in jail--but a Grand Jury investigated this case and indicted three people from Penn State while exonerating Paterno, so it is wrong for the university to fire him immediately when the Board itself admits that it does not have all of the facts and does not know anything beyond what is contained in the Grand Jury's report. Penn State is trying to turn the Sandusky Scandal into the Paterno Scandal and then "prove" their toughness/moral fiber by summarily dismissing Paterno.David Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444347475303187373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-55963978031306368192011-11-11T07:56:16.529-05:002011-11-11T07:56:16.529-05:00On my twitter feed there was a rush to judgement c...On my twitter feed there was a rush to judgement coupled with moral dandyism ( http://www.inertiamagazine.com/issues/001/interview-james-alan-mcpherson.php )which I found a bit off-putting.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740805279281665901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-87341785924244231572011-11-11T01:44:02.476-05:002011-11-11T01:44:02.476-05:00Matt:
