Enron executives forced good people to knowingly fudge the books, and screw employees out of BILLIONS of dollars. Thousands lost their jobs and had their entire retirement savings completely wiped out. Putting people in the poorhouse to line your own pockets is really bad stuff, especially at Enron's level. I wouldn't sell that short. But fine, you want a better example? Nazi Germany. There's a ton of psych research on this. It happens when people are afraid of authority. Good people become very afraid and find themselves doing things they find despicable.

I know it's easy for us to stand on a soap box from afar and judge the guy. Personally, I think it took a lot of courage to say anything at all. Again, it's despicable that the PSU administration sat on it. And it's despicable that JoePa, a guy in a position of power, didn't do anything about it.

You're asking a lot of McQueary. He pulls Sandusky away, and everything he's worked his entire life for is taken away from him. His entire life.
