Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Joe Paterno's statue has gone.

Maybe we shouldn't erect statues to men (or women) while they still live. Might not be a bad idea to wait a decent interval (say, twenty-five years or so).

Might be good to wait awhile before renaming streets, buildings, ships, etc. as well.

Could save us all from embarrassment.

Remember Stalingrad.

Even Russians are embarrassed by Stalin.
