I like the quote posted on NRO:  “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at its testing point.” (C.S. Lewis)

It frequently takes courage to do the right thing and it seems courage was lacking in so many cases at Penn State.

 No Newt.

 I'm iffy about Iraq. We probably will not know the full impact until another 20-50 years.

 I haven't really noticed a change (in California). Folks are fairly friendly here.

 It's a bizzaro world these MSM inhabit, where Christians are still burning each other and the 100 Years War still rages.

 I enjoyed the recent Robin Hood movie, but the semi-historical presentation of the Magna Carta was laughable. It does take time to develop liberty and respect for individual rights: a perspective the MSM seems to be lacking in regards to the Middle East.
