Spawn of Spoonfreude

This is my commonplace book. Face-to-face comments welcome.

Seriously. SERIOUSLY. I mean, for REAL, people.

For me, the question that looms largest about the Penn State sexual-abuse scandal is this: How could someone see a man raping a child and fail to intervene? Fail even to call 911? I can contemplate many difficult, challenging, frightening situations that cause me to ask myself what I really would do if faced with them — and cause me to have no clear answer. This isn’t one of them. How could Mike McQueary not have done more?
