This ability doubtlessly gave him that power to influence and mold the feelings of others later in his life. His first effort in business began when his father gave him a position in a country store. Here he learned the feelings and attitudes of a variety of peoples around the cracker barrel, but Patrick's good nature allowed the credit system to force him into He then married a farmers daughter and tried to earn a living off the land, but his heart was not in it and that too failed. And after this followed another business failure. As a final effort to earn a living, he decided to take up law. His interests were here because he was an avid student of history and poverty. the principles which made nations rise and fall. At the university he met a fellow student, who friend was to become a Thomas Jefferson. Thomas once said that Patrick wras course in ld life-lon- g manners, had a passion for music, appreciated gay humor and other than the social attitude, it is really in no way derogatory." Dr. Blanche M. Baker, a practicing psychiatrist, said: I do not look upon homosexuality as a neurotic problem, but more of a personality pattern reaction. Just as some people prefer blondes and others prefer brunettes, I think the fact that a person may prefer the love of the same sex i their personal business." Another university professor. Dr. Frank A. Beach, Jr., said: One of the views we might get across, if possible, is that the capacity for this kind of activity (sodomy) is inherent in mans biological constitution, lieved to refer to some form of venereal disease). Romans 1:22-2-7 In the light of this clearly defined scriptural admolessons of human experid nition plus the ence, our forefathers did not have to be overly puritanical to recognize in homosexuality the threat which it poses against this or any other society. They therefore incorporated these prohibitions into the law, recognizing as they did so, that while acts against nature would occasionally occur, at least they would not be allowed to spread abroad into an established institution. This generation of Americans, however, faces the other end of the spectrum. A carefully nurtured campaign by certain segments of our society is creating a climate of the libertine, of Sodom, Tyre, Sidon and Gomorrah. Homosexuality is being institutionalized. hard-learne- and always won friends. As a lawyer at the bar his eases were always dramatic and majestic. Often his hearers were moved to laughter or tears as they listened to and certain hangtuary in certain bars, certain hotels, cloisouts. So long as the deviates remain in these above tered, esoteric brothels of perversion, they are the law. They are allowed to violate the law with unwritten agreement impunity. The understanding or with the city is that they will not be molested so long as they do not create a disturbance or leave these sanctuaries to create problems in the more respectable parts of the community. At best, it is an extremely poor arrangement, and live under every chief of police who is compelled to this kind of compromise should recognize that it is a hazard to himself and the entire department. Just let one sensational sex crime occur in die homosexual the community and the rest of the city (including politicians!) will be right on top of the department with boiling lead and scalding water. The chief will find himself accused or openly suspected of possible the payoffs and will be publicly pilloried for fostering sancgathering of sexual psychopaths in designated tuaries where they were allowed to violate the law without fear of interference or threat of arrest. Such goings on are virtually impossible to explain and it will not do to say the city fathers wanted it that way. It will be the chief who will lose his job. This writer has lived long enough to see this cycle of travesty repeated over and over again. The politicians set up the compromise , the chief is forced to live under it, and when the whole thing explodes in a public scandal the chief becomes the scapegoat and loses his job. The only defense against this type of professional hazard is to make a major issue out of the compromise when it is first proposed. Better to be removed as a chief while protesting than to be used as a scapegoat later on. around the There are some battle-scarre- d country who can testify to the merit and accuracy of this advice.

Because of Patrick Henrys influence and power with words, it has been said that he was one of the first moving forces of the Revolution. But though his fame would fill Because of these circumstances law enforcement has been forced into a posture of temporary retreat. Enforcement against sex perversion has been generally blunted all across the country. Many larger cities have even felt compelled to make a truce with the homosexuals.
