Dan, here's another way to look at it, despite your proclamation: Every time a public figure dies, there will be those who use the event as an opportunity to jump on their soapboxes and speak as if virgins. Nothing new here. There are very few spotless people on this planet, and there are very few on this forum who truly know what they would have done in Paterno's situation. Despite your insinuations, I do not believe he was a bad man. That's the way I look at it.
