Transcript of Rhetorical Analysis of Patrick Henry's Speech to the Virginia Convention
Sam Dow

Lilly Grella
Michelle Hermes SUMMARY Patrick Henry is addressing the Virginia Convention, specifically President Peyton Randolph, on March 23, 1775. He is respectfully introducing his views on what action to take in regards to the conflict with Britain. The other members want to peacefully approach the situation, but Patrick Henry wants to prepare for war if Britain does not meet the colonists' demands. ANALYSIS Henry builds his ethos by expressing a religious passion. He positions himself as a Christian fighting for God. The Biblical allusion to the motif of light is the equivalent of fighting for God's truth. "I consider it nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery" (Henry 226). "It" refers to the colonists' need to fight. makes a Biblical allusion to Revelations 3:16, "So because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I'm about to spit you out of my mouth" Henry plays on the idea of the fallacy of an either/or statement. There will be either slavery or freedom, there is no middle ground. Attempting to linger between the two sides would displease God. This plays on pathos because the idea of slavery creates fear and sadness within the colonists' minds, whereas freedom creates happiness in their minds. It also appeals to the human fear of displeasing God. "An act of disloyalty towards the majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings" (Henry 227). Henry juxtaposes God with the earthly kings. The diction that he uses shows the authority of God over a king (King George III). The word "majesty" is related with splendor and quality of God. "Earthly" has the reputation of being fallible, and "king" is only used to show a position of authority, and does not relate to character. Henry makes an appeal to ethos by making God seem more important than the earthly kings, as character and authority prevail over just authority. Henry instructs, "listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts" (Henry 228). The suggestion of the siren is a mythical allusion to the Odyssey metaphorically comparing how the British are giving the colonies false hope to how Circe lures men to her island, giving them false hope and then transforms them into pigs. Henry suggests that this illusion of fake hope is common among humans. This false hope the British give dehumanizes the colonists, causing an array of emotions, ranging from anger and sadness, to fears, playing on pathos. ANALYSIS "Are we disposed to be the number of those who having eyes see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation" (Henry 228). Henry alludes to the Bible verse of Ezekiel 12:2, which says that those who cannot see and cannot hear the truth about God will lose their spiritual salvation. He compares the colonists who are oblivious to the truth about the true intent of the British to those in the Bible who are blind without faith, losing their salvation. Patrick Henry emphasizes the immense military procedures the British are taking, evoking fear in this audience, appealing to pathos. He also builds his own ethos by answering rhetorical questions, which seemingly have no answer. The sentence, "They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other" (Henry 228). has a significant syntactical structure. The parallelism of the sentence repeats the same point, again emphasizing the military preparations by the British. The end of the paragraph is laced with imagery. He compares the build up of armies and navies to "chains" which the British will "bind" and "rivet". The motif of slavery is continued here to create the imagery of imprisonment, also playing on pathos. "I have but one light by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience" (Henry 228). ANALYSIS By metaphorically comparing experience with a lamp, Henry says that experience will light the way for the future. The phrase Henry uses refers to a Biblical verse which states, "lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" Referring to Bible scripture builds Henry's ethos because it portrays him as a spiritual person, and discusses his wisdom that stems from his experience. "Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received" (Henry 228). Henry explains how the colonists' demands have been met with an "insidious smile". The diction creates an appeal to pathos because it implies that the British are misleading. The deceptive nature of the British angers the colonists because they are being fed false hope. Henry uses a Biblical allusion to Judas as he states, "Suffer yourselves no to be betrayed by a kiss" The kiss of Judas, which appears positive, is ultimately what led to Jesus's betrayal and death. In using this metaphor, Henry says that the positive reception of the colonists' petition will fool the colonists into thinking the British care for them, when truly, they will betray the colonists, leading them back into "slavery," a common motif throughout his speech. Henry gives more evidence to continue his appeal to pathos. He does this by explaining and elaborating on the hostile attitude Britain has towards the colonies, and showing the preparations being made for the outburst of a war. "war-like preparations which cover our water and darken our land" (Henry 228). The use of the words "cover" and "darken" create an image of suffocation, death and imprisonment. Henry calls them, ANALYSIS "Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet, suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss" (Henry 228).
The phrase "a snare to your feet" creates an image of a trap, which will ensnare the colonists. The biblical allusion of being "betrayed with a kiss" compares the falsely constructed alliance with Britain to Judas's betrayal of Jesus. Jesus perceived the kiss of Judas as an act of friendship, but ultimately led to his downfall and eventually his death. PARAGRAPH 5 In this paragraph, Henry responds to the opposing argument, giving reasons to refute it. Many other members of the convention want to remain humble and respectful towards Britain and negotiate a treaty. Patrick Henry discredits this approach by saying that all these strategies had been attempted in the past. ANALYSIS To disprove the opposing arguments Henry presents a series of rhetorical questions, and then answers them. This technique appeals to ethos. It makes him appear all knowing and therefore gains him respect. The use of the choppy, abrupt syntax works to leave a lasting impression on the audience. After each rhetorical question, Henry gives the audience time to construct a response mentally, and then automatically refutes it with his abrupt declarative answers, ultimately disproving any counter arguments on the topic. "And what have we to oppose them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the past ten years. Have we anything new to offer on the subject? Nothing" (Henry 228). PARAGRAPH 6 Analysis Throughout the paragraph, Henry constantly repeats words such as, "we" and "ourselves". The use of these words portray the image that Patrick Henry is on the same side as the audience, and that he identifies with them. In this paragraph, Henry discusses the actions the colonies have taken in the past, explaining that they have exploited every opportunity to mediate the conflict, and preparing for war is the only remaining option. ANALYSIS The paragraph begins with a long compound sentence, listing all of the actions the colonies have taken, ranging from the least significant to most significant. He begins with "petitioned" and ends with "prostrated", creating a climax. The actions become more and more desperate as the sentence progresses. He makes the colonies seem vulnerable, evoking fear and sadness in the audience, creating an appeal to pathos. PARAGRAPH 7 "In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope" (Henry 229). Henry once again, mentions the motif of false hope. He explains that considering all the actions that the colonies have taken, there is no room for any other peaceful attempts to mediate conflict. He over emphasizes the situation to appeal to pathos, evoking an array of emotions throughout his audience. After previously listing all the failed solutions, Henry then begins to propose ideas that in his opinion, could solve the conflict with Britain. ANALYSIS Paragraph 7 is composed of one lengthy exclamatory sentence describing potential outcomes, ending in a call to action, "We must fight!" (Henry 230). The tone of the sentence expresses the urgency and need for the fighting. PARAGRAPH 9 Henry begins describing how powerful and great the army of the colonies could be if they attempted. He asks the audience to consider this, and imagine the situation. The whole paragraph focuses on describing them as an army fulfilling the will of God, thus making the cause of the war seem like the obvious decision. ANALYSIS Henry begins Paragraph 8 with the opposing viewpoint that the colonies cannot defend themselves. He says, "But when shall we be stronger?" (Henry 230). He explains that if they wait around to become stronger, only negative outcomes will occur because of it. He creates an appeal to pathos through his description of "a british guard stationed in every house" (Henry 230). This evokes fear in the audience, because this image is something nobody wants to see come true. PARAGRAPH 8 Henry begins paragraph eight by inciting anger inside the colonists, playing on pathos. Henry tells them that others view them as weak. He attempts to call them into action, and to ignite his own ideas within the audience. ANALYSIS In paragraph 8, Patrick Henry discusses how the colonies are seen as a weak power, and in paragraph 9, he refutes this idea. "Lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot" (Henry 230). The imagery of this quotation gives the audience the image of lying in a coffin, "hugging the delusive phantom of hope" Henry continues his motif of slavery, emphasizing how easy it would be for the British to enslave the colonies if no action is taken immediately. "Sir, we are not weak, if we make proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power" (Henry 230). Within this quote, he appeals to authority. He gives God the credit for any good that occurs, thus making himself seem noble, appealing to ethos. "There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable-and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!" (Henry 230). Continuing with the motif of slavery, Henry exclaims how the colonies would essentially become prisoners under the control of the British. He uses the onomatopoeia of the word "clanking" to appeal to pathos and create the horrid images of this situation. By mentioning Boston he demonstrates to the colonists that the conflict is reality, not just an imaginary idea occurring far away. It shows them the prevalence of the situation in regards to the convention. ANALYSIS An appeal to pathos is created by metaphorically comparing the advancement of the British military to a gale, or a gust of wind. Henry emphasizes that just as a storm cannot be stopped by humans, the British cannot be stopped with just human strength. He ties together his main ideas throughout the speech by alluding to the necessity of receiving assistance from God, and working together as a nation to stop this evil. ANALYSIS "But as for me, give me liberty or give me death! (Henry 230). The parallel structure of Henry's final line shows the equivalence of the two subjects, liberty and death. He again states that one or the other will occur, and no compromise is possible. He finishes off his motif of slavery by connecting slavery to death, which will occur if they remain under British rule. THE END! He

After the sarky sci-fi of Dark Star, the all-directing, all-producing, all-writing, all-doing-the-musicking Carpenter came back to Earth with a squelch. And several crunches. And absolutely loads of clanging great gunshots in enclosed spaces.
Taking its cue - and several lines - from Howard Hawks's Rio Bravo (unlikely bunch of defenders holed up in a besieged cop-shop), Assault is a lowest of lo-fi urban Westerns, where Carpenter makes the good guys bad and the bad guys much, much worse.
Bishop (Austin Stoker) is the rookie cop forced to spring notorious killer Napoleon Wilson (Darwin Joston) from his LA jail, to help him fend off a relentless, zombie-like gang onslaught. It's doomy, gloomy and the pace is often a little lingering and '70s-languid. But Carpenter's gift for boosting genre material with sackfuls of down'n'dirty style is already evident - from his restless score to Napoleon's melancholy-but-lethal wise-ass badass: "Days are like women. Each one so damn precious, but they all end up leaving you."

Now I have a confession to make. Writers and publishers like monopolies too. Oh sure, it's exciting to jump on a little-known topic and be the first out in the market with a book, but those books usually generate more good will than revenue. Even though writing about Microsoft Office or Visual Studio plops us into the same tub as many other writers and publishers, it's a big enough tub to be worth fighting over from a financial point of view.
The corollary is that a lot of technologies are left orphaned when it comes to documentation. For instance, seeing the small market for BSD (in fact, a plethora of BSDs), most writers just ignore it and cover Linux. One can see the same trend for database products, networking tools, and other technologies. Where two competing packages (or alternative packages, as free software developers might prefer to say) have installed bases of comparable sizes--like KDE and GNOME--I believe that they both suffer. Combining alternatives in a single book is difficult to carry off and dissipates one's efforts to interest readers. In a field marked by multiple alternatives, each team has to strive for efficiency in making the most of the writing talent they attract.
Why it takes time and talent to produce good documentation
Most programmers realize pretty quickly--with the first email or phone call from a user--that they need better documentation than a quickly whipped-up man page, or even the user manual they honestly strove to write. Many learned observers have discussed why it's so hard to write good documentation for computer software, even by people who know it through and through, but I believe the problem ultimately boils down to structure. Teams think in terms of the structure of a program, but end-users approach it from a structure involving common tasks and the environment.
For instance, to develop a "Save File" dialog, you might write a function that streams a buffer to the filesystem, a function that checks permissions, a function that organizes files by suffix and directory, and a function that expands wildcards. All those activities may be worth explaining to the user, but only if they're presented in the integrated way the user encounters them in the dialog. The difference between the program structure and the user view explains why literate programming technologies like Donald Knuth's WEB never took off. (Knuth seems to have conceived of WEB as a tool for teaching people how to program, and it can be useful in that narrow context--but not as end-user documentation.)
When you take the problem to higher levels and realize that each user task combines many interactions with your software, many pieces of software from different sources, and many pieces of the user's environment, you start to wonder whether any documentation can ever be adequate. I've explored possible solutions in earlier articles (for instance, Methods and Mechanics of Creating Reliable User Documentation), but the bottom line is that you've got to find someone with a special knack to do the job, and give him or her both time and training.
When both time and training are limited, I'd like to suggest some shortcuts that software teams can use to document their software while taking into account that there are alternative, competing packages.
The idea of teasing the reader isn't an invention springing from my own desperation or sadism. It's an intriguing concept that goes back to the 1980s when a psychologist named John M. Carroll decided to try a radical break from heavy, desk-warping tomes that represented computer documentation at the time and to test a style of writing and training materials he called "Minimalist Documentation." His method stimulated users to try things out and build up their own mental models of how the software worked, rather than try to provide information and models verbally.
The trick is to assume that your readers have had experience with the first 20 steps already, or that they can figure them out intuitively (see "Tease the reader" above) or can ask a more experienced colleague to show them what to do. Your goals are to explain the less obvious techniques, or, even more fundamentally, to let the reader know they exist. If each competing system documented its strengths well, users could evaluate them more easily and choose the one most appropriate to their tasks.
As the documentation specialists can tell you, one of the persistent dilemmas in computer documentation is how to interest different audiences (for instance, both novices and experts). Your choice of the differences to accentuate depends on where your audience is coming from. For instance, few people coming from the Windows or Macintosh domains have experience with virtual screens or desktops (large spaces for holding windows, which the user views a bit at a time). But on Unix and Linux window managers, such virtual areas are commonplace. Whether you stress them depends on whether you expect your readers to have seen them before.
One model for documentation I've always liked is the Free Software Foundation's manual for GNU make, which includes hints in several places about differences between GNU make and other versions in common use. In fact, it goes farther and tells readers used to features from other versions how to do some of the same things in GNU make.
I believe in the benefits of alternatives. For example, the co-existence of KDE and GNOME allows their teams to experiment with a number of philosophical choices carrying valuable implications. Is it better to code in C++ because it provides high-level shortcuts, or in C to make integration with other languages easier? Is the flexibility of CORBA worth the hassle of learning its conventions? We may have more evidence with which to determine answers, thanks to the test-tube environment provided by the two teams.
BSD and Linux have also been good for each other. From the BSD project, Linux has taken not only massive amounts of working code but the attitude that it is destined for greater things than a hacker's desktop. In turn, Linux has shaken the various BSD teams out of the blues that hit them in the early 1990s and led them to say, "If Linux can get that far, so can we." For lots of reasons I like to see alternatives flourish in the world of computing, and good documentation is one important way to bring them into greater circulation.

If you're struggling to engage employees in your CSR goals, focus on their immediate supervisors.
Researchers David Cantor, Paula Morrow and Frank Montabon discovered that the employees who work hardest to achieve environmental goals are also the ones who believe it matters to their boss.
"The findings confirm what we know intuitively," said Dave Robitaille, manager of citizenship and corporate affairs for IBM. "I've always operated by the adage: 'What interests the boss, fascinates me.' So research showing immediate manager interest in CSR outweighs that of the CEO makes perfect sense."
Professor Cantor and his colleagues studied employees in the supply chain division of a global retailer. They measured the impact that employees' perceptions of the company's commitment to sustainability had on the employees' own commitment to and effort toward the firm's environmental goals. Corporate commitment was measured according to supervisor support for the goals, company training programs and rewards.
If the boss cares, I care
To measure supervisor support, the researchers had employees respond to questions like: "My supervisor provides me with useful advice related to eco-initiatives." Employees who were more likely to respond to the question affirmatively were more likely to perceive their company as placing a high value on sustainability. These employees were also more likely to characterize themselves as "really committed to our environmental activities" and more likely to have actively sought a solution to an environmental problem facing the company.
The findings are grounded in "organization support theory," which states that employees seek a relationship of reciprocity with their employers. The more an employee believes the firm is committed to a goal -- by providing the necessary encouragement and tools -- the more the employee will respond to that goal with increased commitment and effort.
"In my experience in corporate citizenship, I've found that hand-to-hand dissemination of information is key, just as in many marketing campaigns," said Robitaille. "People listen to and take advice from people they trust -- more so than from slogans or campaigns. And while employees may trust the CEO, they pay closest attention to their peers and immediate manager for both information and advice."

Letter to the Editor: Vote for Dennis Morris
We have known Dennis Morris for many years. On the few occasions that we have needed assistance on county matters, he has always been available to assist us, and, if he did not know the answer to the question, he referred us to the person who could help.
Over the years, Morris has become very familiar with all county departments and while not wasting taxpayers' dollars, he has tried to be progressive in his thinking to move education, public safety and other essential services forward in Shenandoah County. One of his favorite sayings is "how do we get the best bang for the buck." Morris is always looking for that solution.
County government gets saddled with state unfunded mandates on a regular basis, but Morris works hard for all of us to see those mandates cost taxpayers the least amount possible.
When you go to the polls on Nov. 5, vote Morris for supervisor for District 5. He will work to solve your problems with acceptable solutions for all, not just make statements with no facts and figures to back them up.
We are proud and honored that Morris is willing to give our county his time, energy and experience to serve the people in District 5.
Don & Linda Neighbors, Toms Brook

In about 4 hours at 2PM PDT, I'll be giving my talk "Security Around MySQL" at Ballroom A at the Percona Live MySQL Conference 2012. It's a summary and guide of practical and easy-to-implement security tips around MySQL and the application. These tips were all gleamed from my years at start-ups (some of which I worked on and some which I founded) and from my experience at Pythian.
The details are here: http://www.percona.com/live/mysql-conference-2012/sessions/security-around-mysql.
Pythian is pleased to announce our speaking schedule at this year's Oracle OpenWorld 2011, October 2-6, 2011 in San Francisco, CA.
We're excited to be joined by our customers Western Union, and Worldwide Technologies (WWT) as we present real-world experiences and project success. If you're attending, don't miss the chance to hear our team of experts. Bring your toughest questions to be answered as they relate to any of the subjects below.[Read more...]

I guess I brought the snow with me to New York as I awoke to a nice 10cm dump. Anyway today would best be described as a day of 'Disruptive Tech'
I first attended Kevin Kempters intro into PorstgreSQL High Availability. A very well balanced presentation that gave a very good overview of what is available out of the box for both Warm Standbys and Hot Standbys how they can be very easily implemented. He also gave a quick overview of other tools that can be used including Slony for detailed fail-overs and PgPool for load balancing and relication. Not very disruptive but it does show that Pg is on par with most of the heavy hitters such as MySQL and Oracle.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The U.S. Treasury Department sent out a call for fresh ideas Wednesday with cash prizes awaiting the most popular entries.
The department said it was looking for ideas that would help the public become "smarter financial consumers."
The contest, dubbed the "MyMoneyAppUp Challenge" has two categories for entries.
The first category is for ideas laid out in 140 characters or less for "app-based solutions from the general public."
This category is open to one and all and calls for quick, concise, ideas for new, financial apps, which is short for digital applications.
"Mobile technology has become an increasingly important part of many Americans' lives, creating new opportunities to help consumers make smart financial decisions in user-friendly ways," Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin said in a statement.
Prizes for fresh ideas range from $250 to $1,000. The public will be able to vote on the ideas with a panel of judges taking it from there, awarding prizes to the 10 most popular ideas.
The second challenge includes awards of $2,500 to $10,000.
That category is for application design outlined in detail.
"Contestants must complete an online submission form detailing their design and how it will improve financial capability and/or access," the department said.
As an added twist, the Treasury said it was encouraging app designers to use ideas submitted to the IdeaBank for their projects.
Ideas and apps designs can be submitted online at MyMoneyAppUp.challenge.gov., the department said.
Details for the contests, sponsored with help from the D2D Fund and the Center for Financial Services, are available online.

I second Herndon's sentiments. I am biased because I sit on the EC Council continuing education board, but even before
I joined that I was impressed with the content and depth of the CEH certification. It really requires a broad
knowledgebase to be successful on the exam.
You have to start somewhere, and either of these two would be good starting points.

Subject: Re: [Pauldotcom] Opinions on certs security/network
Ive looked at CEH and security+ and just laughed.
If you are laughing at CEH, then I think you have become a bit jaded! The CEH cert is not easy, and is fairly
well-respected in my experience. There are no certs that will be universal.....there is always some staleness in every
certification due to the nature of the necessary standardized testing, leadtime for development etc. But the CEH,
IMHO, is one of the better ones if you are after a technical cert. Otherwise, just commit some high-profile break-in,
serve your time, then use that street cred as your certification. Good luck with that.

|October 2
In 1995, on this day US citizens officially learnt of the existence of a new federal facility when President Bill Clinton announced that it was in the paramount interest of open government for contested information about Area 51 to be revealed to the public.
Area 51The long-expected revelation had become increasingly inevitable since the opening of a private legal challenge from seven labourers who had been harmed by open-pit burning of toxic chemicals. Allegedly investigations by the Environmental Crimes Project (ECP) at George Washington University had determined that the Department of Defense had acted negligently. Also the Environmental Protection Agency had failed to enforce compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery (RC&R) Act.
The resistence of US District Judge Philip Pro had melted away when attorney Jonathan Turley of ECP threatened to subpoena a senior Russian embassy official and several former Soviet Intelligence officer who could confirm the identity of the base. On September 2nd, Judge Pro ruled that owing to the specific demands of the RC&R Act, the government must within one month either make the EPA report public or seek a presidential exemption.Turley hailed the ruling saying it showed that "national security claims do not trump domestic laws .. government can lo longer have nameless, faceless bases".
The farcical reality was shatteringly disappointing. The US Government did indeed have UFOs housed at nearby Groom Lake. Nine in fact. But because scientists had been ordered to operate in a condition of utmost secrecy, any prospect of a breakthrough had been stiffled and they had hopelessly failed to back-engineer the spacecraft. Worse, after an armed confrontation at the Lake in 1979, joint research with Extraterrestrial Biological Entities (EBEs) had ceased. Ten years later an obscure scientist named Bob Lazar had absconded with the remaining supply of Element 115 which was necessary to propel the vehicles. Lazar, a pyrotechnic freak, had exploded the material at one of his annual Desert Storm Parties before becoming the victim of a mysterious hit and run shooting on a Las Vegas Highway.

How to Survive the January Breakup Frenzy
5 steps to protect your relationship from the epidemic of post-holiday splits
Page: 3 of 5
Family time: Talk about your vision for time spent with family, and frame it with making your relationship a priority. Be willing to bend and ask for the same flexibility. Collaborate on how to handle family situations. Stay out of the trap of "my way or the highway."
Couple time: This conversation is the one that tends to uncover any fault lines in your love. Put it right out front that you want lots of time together and that you understand you need to weave that around other obligations on both your parts. Declare your love and devotion. Then, bite your lip and listen carefully for your partner's response.

Rotifers are microscopic aquatic animals of the phylum Rotifera. Rotifers can be found in many freshwater environments and in moist soil, where they inhabit the thin films of water that are formed around soil particles. The habitat of rotifers may include still water environments, such as lake bottoms, as well as flowing water environments, such as rivers or streams. Rotifers are also commonly found on mosses and lichens growing on tree trunks and rocks, in rain gutters and puddles, in soil or leaf litter, on mushrooms growing near dead trees, in tanks of sewage treatment plants, and even on freshwater crustaceans and aquatic insect larvae£10 off in stock models

Andrew Jenks from MTV's World of Jenks recently went on a mission with us on the streets of Los Angeles and let's just say, it was pretty freaking epic.
Wanting to ask Hollywood denizens what they thought about those big in the pop culture world these days, Jenks questioned people on their Justin Bieber, Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake obsessions.
While a lot of people knew what was up, you'd be surprised by how many people actually don't know anything about the Biebs or just pop culture in general!
Oh and Jenks SO gets a guy to admit Bieber is a babe!
See what everyone on the streets had to say to Jenks about pop culture in the video above.
And don't forget to check out the premiere of his show, World of Jenks, on March 4 at 11 p.m. on MTV!

Manny Pacquiao says he DOES NOT believe gay people should be put to death ... and blames the media for twisting his words about his stance on gay marriage.
Manny has been under fire ever since the National Conservative Examiner published an interview in which Pacquiao says gay marriage is against the will of God.
The Examiner article includes a reference to Leviticus 20:13 -- which says gays "must be put to death." But now the journalist who conducted the interview is admitting Pacquiao NEVER specifically referenced that bible verse.
Pacquiao has now released a statement saying, "I didn't say that, that's a lie ... I didn't know that quote from Leviticus because I haven't read the Book of Leviticus yet."
He continues, "I'm not against gay people ... I have a relative who is also gay. We can't help it if they were born that way."
Still, Manny says he's AGAINST same-sex marriage -- "What I'm critical off [sic] are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God."
just another cherry picker... and one who has not yet read the book he cherry picks from? Pathetic god-drones.
Sick and tired of the gay agenda on TMZ. Gays are just as intolerant as anyone else. However, most of us have at least one gay relative or friend. If they choose to make a commitment to each other that's fine by me. It's better than running around with every Tom, Dick and Harry.
My problem is with gay men who're in the closet and the ones married to women while they sneak around with men. That's disgusting. Be true to yourself and live with who you are. Don't drag other people into your deception.
At the end of the day people need to live and let live.
Hell yea, death to gays!!!!
These f*gs aren't born f*gs, just like murderers are not born murderers. The f*gs have a choice to be f*gs or not. Even if they are f*gs, they don't have to be all in our face about it and demand equal rights. Being a f*ggot has become popular because of pop culture and Democraps. We need to put all the f*gs and Democraps on an island and let them butt f*ck each other until the entire population has HIV or AIDS.
First of all, marriage is the domain of the church and they have the right to define it as they wish. Legal partnerships on the other hand have nothing to do with religion and there is no reason they should be prohibited in any way.
It's well past time to relegate the term 'marriage' to the trash bin along with 'husband' and 'wife'. The church should have absolutely nothing to do with legal matters and it's time to move into the 21st century instead of living in the dark ages.
I am not surprised that he is against gay marriage, he is catholic, no?
What does Leviticus say about looking like a caveman?
Pacman NEVER said that about gays and that phrase from leviticus is not used ,not really known, or accepted.
I not sure how Pacman feels about gay marriage but This issue of Gay Marriage has been so EXPLOITED by the President re-election team to demean anyone who has another position.
The reason why some are against gay marriage is because they believe marriage is between one man and one women to have a child and if the defintion of marriage is severely altered it could lead marriage with multi wives , marriage between you and the federal state (commune), etc.
The accepted bible teaching does Not demean gays , because we are all equal (gay or straight).
Uh oh...looks like the gay mafia got to him. Now he'll have to go on the apology tour you know, for having (GASP) a difference of opinion...
Another reason many are for traditional marriage and it is Not about being a 'homophobe' at all (see below)..
"" The reason why many people are for marriage being between one man and one women is because they produce a child , which forms a family. It does not have much to do with judeo-christian beliefs , but more to do with taking care of your own children..
There are some now that want to Exploit the issue of gay marriage and say that all people who oppose gay marriage are bigots * because some of them have another agenda. Their far Left views that marriage should be re-defined to include the federal state as a family member (which destroys marriage) is apparent .
Maybe there can be a marriage that is inclusive to gay couples , but the motive of the far left is to destroy marriage , so states right should continue (like both the President and Romney have indicated).. ""
I think everybody should be able to march down to city hall & get married then divorced 2 years or so later. There is no sanctity in marriage so why are we trying to hog it all up? We (heterosexual) shouldn't have all the fun. Gays want divorces, restraining orders, and child custody battles too.
Complete B.S.
If you quote the bible, that means you believe the 3,000+ year-old teachings of a do***ent that no one really knows who wrote in the first place.
Manny, you need to remember, as well as the rest of you bible thumpers, that not everyone believes in your myth of god! This country was founded on religious FREEDOM. You people are trying to shove christianity down everyone's throat. I don't have to believe in what you do. And I don't think your Jesus would approve of how you so-called christians are towards gay people. I do believe he loved EVERYONE. He wasn't choosy or ignorant.
Manny Pacquiao is just helping and reaching out for these gays, lesbians etc, because he knew that if they will continue this act in their lives, they will not be saved in the judgement day, heaven and hell are true, we all wanted to go to heaven, but before we could enter there, we need to start it in ourselves, we should bring salvation in our lives. this is what i think manny wanted to speak out
There are a number of biblical passages that in these days and times if taken literally will result in incarceration and prosecution. The culture back in biblical times was much more inhumane to a certain degree as opposed to our current state of culture. For instance, Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (New International Version) - "If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard." Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you." How many of us reading these comments have children who are rebellious and disobedient? If we instituted this principle in today's society, this definitely would be grounds for prosecution and incarceration. In addition, Genesis 38:8-10 (New International Version) - "Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother." But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the Lord's sight; so the Lord put him to death also. How many men (married even) have masturbated without "replenishing the earth"? Yet in today"s time, getting sexual gratification from watching porn on a computer or TV and subsequently maturating has not resulted in our lives being snubbed. If this was a reason in today's culture to be killed, yet again, incarceration and or prosecution would happen to anyone who feels this is justification for taking someone's life. I think really what all of these scriptures illustrate is that all of us may not share the same idiosyncrasies, but we all have some. Should we all be put to death because of any one fault we have? I'm certain most of us would say "NO".
That's why I don't ever believe the media. They always do this sh!t. Twist this and that....

Title: Capacity-building in Indonesian Islamic NGOs
Dr GJ Barton, A/Prof SM Kenny
2004 : $40,000
2005 : $50,000
2006 : $50,000
2007 : $60,000
Category: 3701 - SOCIOLOGY
Summary: This study aims to
understand and monitor forms and applications of capacity-building in progressive
Islamic/Muslim NGOs in Indonesia, over a four year period, in the context of
profound social, economic and political change, in order to better understand
how best to strengthen such groups and to assist them to become more effective.
It will significantly increase our understanding of the complex cultural issues
that influence these groups in their efforts to professionalise, build capacity
and contribute to civil society. It will identify areas in which Western misunderstandings
of Muslim culture and society have limited the effectiveness of capacity building
Title: Labour Matters: The Recomposition of Trade Union Action in a Globalising Era: Australia and Canada1983-2003
Prof C Lipsig-Mumme, A/Prof LI Hancock, Dr JD Buchanan, A/Prof R Lambert, Prof S McBride
2004 : $45,000
2005 : $40,000
2006 : $40,000
Category: 3502 - BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT
Administering Institution: Monash University
Summary: Trade unions are
struggling to craft innovative responses to globalisation's pressures, while
seeking to shore up their traditional role in 'porous' national economies. We
compare Australia with Canada 1983-2003: semi-peripheral countries facing similar
pressures from globalisation, but responding differently in governance and trade
union action. Labour innovation is set against the backdrop of changes in employment
regulation and employment security. We examine innovation through national and
transnational union campaigns that parallel in two countries, to evaluate innovation
in Australia. Postgraduate research training in internationally comparative
social science methodology is provided and results disseminated in academic,
practitioner and public fora.
Title: Spaces of Becoming: Spatial Strategies and the Formation of Modern Identities in Urban South Asia
Dr S Srivastava
2004 : $35,000
2005 : $52,000
2006 : $31,000
Category: 3703 - ANTHROPOLOGY
Summary: The intensification
of urbanisation in South Asia calls for new ways of understanding the politics
of identity, and social complexity. This project will explore ways in which
urban spaces (such as places of worship, streetscapes, markets, festival grounds,
procession routes, and 'neighbourhoods') are used by different groups as a fundamental
principle of organising social relations, including transmission of culture
and creation of identity. This interdisciplinary project argues that historicism
- an exclusive temporal emphasis - can not capture the fundamental relationship
between spaces and social processes that shapes contemporary cultural and social
complexity in South Asia.
Title: Australian Literature and the Sacred: Contesting the Myth of Australian Secularism
Dr LM McCredden, Dr FM Devlin-Glass, A/Prof BD Ashcroft
2004 : $24,000
2005 : $23,906
2006 : $25,283
2007 : $24,000 (54% of request)
Category: 4202 - LITERATURE STUDIES
Summary: The dominant myth of Australian culture has stressed its modern, post-religious secularism. This project, focusing on Australian literature since 1940, challenges this most tenacious myth, current in the wider culture and in Australian literary scholarship. It will investigate how the contemporary sacred is transforming in the context of urgent recent claims to the sacred by indigenous peoples, migrants and women. This project will redefine and systematize what sacredness might mean in a supposedly secular Australian culture. It will produce a new model of the sacred in Australian literary history and make significant interventions in post-colonial debates
Title: A Longitudinal Study of Recurrent Audit Failure in Australian Corporate Collapses from 1885 to the present
Prof GD Carnegie, A/Prof B O'Connell
2004 : $45,000
2005 : $50,000
Category: 3501 - ACCOUNTING, AUDITING AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Summary: As starkly illustrated with Enron in the US and with HIH in Australia, corporate collapse and audit failure may be interrelated. In response to repeated instances of audit failure, legislative and other reforms are typically adopted in order to ensure that auditor indiscretions are curtailed. Unfortunately, audit failure persists. This longitudinal Australian study of audit failure in the context of corporate collapse from the mid 1880s aims to enhance an understanding of audit failure and why it recurs. The study's findings are expected to inform future enquires and court cases and assist in developing public policy and future legislative reforms.
Title: Maximising Success in Mathematics for Disadvantaged Students
Prof PA Sullivan, Ms JA Mousley, Prof RL Zevenbergen
2004 : $50,000
2005 : $60,000
2006 : $60,000
Category: 3302 - CURRICULUM STUDIES
Administering Institution: La Trobe University
Summary: This project aims
to identify strategies that teachers can use to overcome the obvious disadvantage
some school students experience in learning mathematics. Currently working class
and Indigenous students in Australian schools are performing very much worse
than their peers in mathematics. Some currently recommended teaching strategies
may be actually exacerbating this disadvantage. This project will identify the
factors contributing to the lack of success of these students, and offer strategies
that teachers can use to ensure that students from disadvantaged backgrounds
have the same opportunities to learn mathematics as other students.
Title: Indigenous Teachers: Understanding their Professional Pathways and Career Experiences
Dr N Santoro, A/Prof J Reid, Dr C McConaghy
2004 : $65,000
2005 : $45,000
2006 : $42,000
2007 : $43,000
Category: 3303 - PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS
Summary: There is an urgent need to understand the nature of the professional experience of Indigenous teachers in Australian schools. This project will produce significant new knowledge about the career experiences of former and current Indigenous educators, about the prior life experience of Indigenous teachers beginning their careers in NSW and Victorian schools, and in-depth case studies of their first three years as teachers. It will provide vital information for state and federal education and teacher education policy formation, contribute to social theory with regard to institutional racism, 'whiteness' and Australian education and advance methodologies for research about Indigenous issues.
Title: Personal and environmental influences on changes in adolescents' food consumption behaviours
Dr DA Crawford, Prof A Worsley
2004 : $85,000
2005 : $85,000
2006 : $85,000
2007 : $43,000
Category: 3212 - PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH SERVICES
Summary: This project will track the eating behaviours of two groups of randomly selected adolescents between the ages of 12 and 16 years, for three years. The aims are to assess the changes that occur in their eating behaviour and to examine the influence of family, school, mass media and intrapersonal variables during this period so that predictive models can be built. This will facilitate the implementation of life skills education and the prevention of obesity, non-communicable diseases and nutrient deficiencies.
Title: Intracellular localisation of insulin signalling proteins in human skeletal muscle following exercise
Dr KF Howlett, Prof M Hargreaves
2004 : $55,000
2005 : $55,000
2006 : $55,000 (87% of request)
Category: 2701 - BIOCHEMISTRY
Summary: The metabolic action of insulin in skeletal muscle is enhanced by exercise, but the underlying mechanisms mediating this are unknown. Insulin receptor substrate proteins are key mediators in the intracellular insulin signalling pathway and play a central role in regulating many metabolic events. Our aim is to examine the hypothesis that exercise induces a novel subcellular redistribution of these insulin receptor substrate proteins in skeletal muscle, such that the metabolic action of insulin is enhanced. Elucidating the mechanisms whereby exercise enhances insulin action underpins the development of new treatments and therapies with the aim of improving skeletal muscle function in health and disease.
Title: Regulatory mechanisms in skeletal muscle lipid hydrolysis
A/Prof MA Febbraio, Prof M Hargreaves, Dr MJ Watt, Prof LL Spriet
2004 : $75,000
2005 : $75,000
2006 : $75,000
Category: 2701 - BIOCHEMISTRY AND CELL BIOLOGY
Administering Institution: RMIT University
Summary: The regulation of
intramuscular triglyceride (fat) utilisation by human skeletal muscle is largely
unknown. Our contention is that the specialized protein enzyme, hormone sensitive
lipase (HSL), has a fundamental role in intramuscular triacylglycerol utilisation
and is regulated by both intramuscular levels of key metabolites and circulating
hormone concentrations. We also propose control points subsequent to HSL activation
are important for triglyceride hydrolysis. Our proposed project examines these
factors and will enhance our understanding of the regulation of muscle fat use,
thereby leading to potential metabolic strategies (nutritional, pharmacological)
that enhance skeletal muscle function at rest and during exercise.
Title: The etiology of social anxiety and its impact on development across the lifespan
Dr KA Moore, Dr DJ Mellor
2004 : $40,000
2005 : $40,000 (50% of request – 2 instead of 3 yrs)
Category: 3801 - PSYCHOLOGY
Summary: Social anxiety is a distressing early-onset disorder often associated with other psychiatric conditions in later life. This study will extend our previous work that has identified factors associated with its onset. We propose that these factors and the social anxiety itself may disrupt psychosocial development, at the time of onset, and throughout the lifespan. We aim to investigate these innovative hypotheses through a sequence of three studies, with adults, children and adolescents. The results will inform prevention and early intervention regimes, thereby reducing both the incidence of social anxiety and the burden of the disorder.
Title: Bacterial Cell Division: Discovering how it begins and the network of protein interactions it requires
Dr EJ Harry, Prof J Errington, Dr PL Beech, Prof D Ehrlich
2004 : $100,000
2005 : $100,000
2006 : $100,000
Category: 2703 - MICROBIOLOGY
Administering Institution: The University of Sydney
Summary: All cells must coordinate
cell division with chromosome replication to ensure that the DNA is partitioned
equally into newborn cells. We will establish the defect of a novel mutant blocked
in the earliest stage of cell division in bacteria to obtain unique information
about this vital regulatory step. We will use our newly discovered protein interaction
network to establish what role protein interactions play in integrating cell
division with other biological pathways in the cell to ensure its tight regulation.
Our discoveries will facilitate the design of new antibiotics that target cell
division to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria and bioterrorism organisms.
Title: Late palaeozoic palaeogeography of Central Asia: A palaeobiogeographical approach using improved biostratigraphy
Dr ZQ Chen
2004 : $70,000
2005 : $70,000
2006 : $70,000
Category: 2601 - GEOLOGY
Summary: Fossil data from
Central Asia (Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, NW China, Mongolia, Altaids)
indicate significant degree of palaeo-latitudinal variation in biogeographical
patterns across the Palaeo-Tethys and its flanking shelves during Late Palaeozoic,
but details of these patterns and implications for enhancing contemporaneous
palaeogeographical models are virtually unknown. This project will analyse the
biogeographical patterns of Late Palaeozoic brachiopod, coral, fusulinid faunas
using advanced statistical methods, and integrate biogeographical signals with
palaeomagnetic data to constrain models for the Late Palaeozoic geological evolution
of Central Asia-a vast region that is known to bear enormous potential for natural
resources but remains geologically little explored.
Title: Refining Restoration Ecology: Is Range of Historical Variability an appropriate concept to guide ecosystem management and restoration?
Dr ID Lunt, Dr A Bennett, Dr I Oliver
2004 : $50,000
Category: 2707 - ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION
Administering Institution: Charles Sturt University
Summary: Ecosystem restoration
is an urgent task in many Australian landscapes. Range of Historical Variability
(RHV) theory provides an influential but largely untested framework to guide
restoration activities. We will test the RHV proposition that biodiversity conservation
is enhanced if the structure of altered ecosystems is restored within the pre-settlement
range. Plants, vertebratesand invertebrates will be compared between unrestored
Callitris woodlands dominated by post-settlement regrowth, and restored stands
where regrowth has been reduced within the RHV. This will be the first test
of RHV theory to encompass a range of taxonomic and functional groups at both
local and landscape scales.
Title: Modelling twinning transitions in light metals: a new foundation for alloy and process development
Dr MR Barnett
2004 : $117,000
2005 : $117,000
2006 : $117,000
2007 : $117,000
2008 : $117,000
Category: 2913 - METALLURGY
Summary: Australia's
quest to become a world leader in light metals technology is being held back
by a lack of quantitative understanding of the metallurgical behaviour of magnesium,
which is the lightest engineering metal, and titanium, which is the strongest
light metal. In particular, there is poor knowledge of the influence of material
parameters on deformation twinning. This knowledge is vital for efficient production
and optimised alloy and part design. This proposal aims to develop a quantitative
understanding oftransitions in twinning activation for improved performance
in fatigue, crash behaviour, structural integrity, forming, forging, extruding,
hot rolling and annealing.
Title: Developing Intelligent Systems for Manufacturing Control
Dr Y Frayman, Dr BF Rolfe
2004 : $60,000
2005 : $60,000
2006 : $60,000
Category: 2903 - MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING
Summary: The primary aim of
this project is to develop control systems that interactively learn from the
environment to increase the capabilities and performance of manufacturing processes.
To achieve this we propose to develop manufacturing control systems that can
automatically adapt to the changes in the process under control. Since these
systems are expected to operate with limited or no human intervention, they
need to be intelligent enough to be able to learn from a changing environment
and adapt correspondingly in order to achieve and maintain performance objectives.
Title: The development of optimum microstructures in hot worked metals
Prof PD Hodgson, Dr MR Barnett, Prof JH Beynon, Prof WM Rainforth
2004 : $75,000
2005 : $75,000
2006 : $80,000
Category: 2913 - METALLURGY
Summary: Hot working is used
to obtain the shape and properties of a wide range of metal products. At present
our knowledge of how to control the forming process and properties of the final
product is limited to laboratory conditions that do not apply in industry. This
work will systematically study the deformation behaviour of a range of metals,
including steel, titanium, aluminium, magnesium and copper from standard laboratory
to real industrial conditions. We will develop advanced models to predict the
properties of these metals for any hot working process and identify opportunities
to develop new high strength products.
Title: A Model for IT Security Outsourcing of Critical Services
A/Prof MJ Warren A/Prof WE Hutchinson
2004 : $40,000
2005 : $40,000 (89% of request)
Category: 2801 - INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Summary: IT security outsourcing is the establishment of a contractual relationship with an outside vendor to assume responsibility for one or more security functions. The decision-making process associated with outsourcing security is complex. To improve the effectiveness of the decision-making process a conceptual model that integrates security benefits, costs and their respective performance measures will be developed. This model will support management in their aim of overseeing IT security effectively. The research will make a valuable contribution towards determining the impact of IT security outsourcing within Australia.
