lawrence was 5-3. and there had been such a, there had been such a rush of people enlisting, british enlisting that they raised the height standard to i believe it was 5-6 at the beginning of the war. of course, as people started dying, they lowered it again. but, so lawrence was working in this mapping office, and a general who was about to go off the western front came in for a briefing on the latest battlefield maps, and he was, he was enraged that he was being briefed by a civilian. and he said, he said i want to talk to an officer. so they bundled lawrence off to the army/navy surplus store and got him a uniform and made him a second lieutenant. [laughter] and so that's how he became an officer. >> very good. [applause] all right. so let's talk about how an archaeologist with no military training ends up becoming such a romantic figure and emerges in the middle east at the end of world war i as the hero. how did that happen? that sounds -- was it a huge pr thingsome was it circumstantial? tell us

this view of liberty is also found in the courts 2003 decision in lawrence versus texas which struck down a texas criminal prohibition on. lawrence stated that liberty as a general rule should counsel against attempts by the state or a court to define the meaning of the relationship or set its boundaries absent injury to a person or abuse of an institution the law protects. in doing so it discounted the significance of history predating the sexual revolution as when the court said we think that our laws and traditions from the past half-century are of the most relevance here. all this is quite consistent with casey's relativism. after all human nature serves as the basis for human relationships and sexuality and use subjective view of the former belief inexorably to a subject a few of the latter. it was no example -- it was no accident that the examples the story chose to illustrate the connection between natural and positive law was marriage. stories relief in a fixed human nature logically entailed a fixed conception of marriage. having adopted this objectivist assumption in casey
