I am going to go a little off topic today.
As an Italian American that grew up in the northeast, I spent my Saturday afternoons in the Fall watching Penn State Football. Joe Paterno was/is revered in my household. I am truly saddened by what has happened these past few days. A truly great man has been fired (by phone no less) for the actions of another and perhaps his own inaction's. I am not going to get into what JoePa should or shouldn't have done. I just want people to realize that Jerry Sandusky is the perpetrator of these horrific crimes against children not Joe Paterno. For all of this to fall at the feet of a man that lived his entire life by a code of honesty and integrity sickens me. Please look at all of the good that he has accomplished in his 80+ years of life and ask yourself "is this a man that maliciously protected a sexual predator?" I say no. The Huffington Post has a great article.
Our society really needs to stop hating on those that do not deserve it. FLOATING is going to bring us back to love.
