Just because I've been teary eyed since last night. What a sad sad day for Penn State University. Joe Paterno should have gone out in glory and not in shame. Hubby graduated from PSU. I guess it wasn't enough, but he reported the rumors to his superiors. Horrible horrible situation for the boys that were abused. Silly sports news, but just a very very sad day for US college football.

sugaree, I feel horrible about Penn State too. As a huge football fan I can't even imagine what the mood must be there today. My dad is from Pennsylvania and is the exact same age as Paterno. He retired 20 years ago and has long felt Paterno should have done the same.
The incident reveals a loss of perspective and group think that should be sobering for everyone involved in college sports, or even in a fandom. The worst thing about it (besides the horrible crime and coverup) is that it taints all of the wonderful things that came before.

In memory of 17th of November 1973, a day we Greeks should NEVER forget. I posted it here because it means so much to me. These are real scenes that happened that day. At 5.10 mark the tank crashes the gates of the Polytechnik school, crashing also the students who were on these gates holding the Greek flag. Before crashing the gates, a student who was talking to the radio station that was built in just a day inside the school was talking to the soldiers saying : Soldiers, our brothers, soldiers, our brothers, we KNOW you won't listen to the junta. You won't enter the school... My eyes are blurry right now. I was very young but I had friends who were tortured brutally by the junta and I felt under my skin what junta means in every day life. Today people don't know what it is to live under a military junta. 17/11/1973, dawn. The tanks of the army invade the Polytechnic, dropping to the ground the main gate and those who are on it at the moment. The invasion by the army Special Forces and policemen takes place immediately after, and the actual slaughter with hundreds dead and even more injured inside and outside the Polytechnic begins. For two days the city center becomes the scene of the most brutal and blooded repression since the Civil War. After a few months, the junta will hand over power to her twin sister, the parliamentary democracy. The uprising of the Polytechnic in 1973, was the raging outburst of all the rebels and the fighting spirits, who once more overthrew every stereotype and characteristic attributed to them by the Dominant ideology. It was neither an isolated nor a random incident. It was prepared and pre-announced by organized student demonstrations, labor protests and social strugglers during the years of the military junta.

Gelly ... I don't know what to say, that is so sad. I have been reading stories this morning about the future of Occupy Wall Street and then I come over here and watch these videos and it gave me chills.

Linda
there is nothing to say, just hope I won't see this situation in Greece ever or anywhere in this planet. Thank you for taking the time to share my memories with me.
