Um, but it didn't do it this time, haha. So I started using the copy and paste under Share as suggested by Tx4Obama.

I use Firefox, and didn't see what you mentioned, the Embed option under Share, but found something brand new, being able to start the video at a certain place. Which would get to the point being made instead of the whole video.

As far as Chomsky, he has a clear vision of the power dynamics behind human relationships and how they are coerced. I was not surprised by him at all.

There are such things as forced choices, not free choices. And as you see in this video by Zinn which I used the other method that you did, there is a lot of pressure. I guess in reference to your OP, some see any resistance to this form of commerce, which it has become, is fear they will be denied the right to consume the commerical product as their own personal pleasure. We see the same in the brand wars on computers, a lot of that is grasping at straws.

Much of what is emotional is not logical, can't take into account the consequence on others, thus is seen as a loss and will be attacked with any verbal tools that can be found. Sex is an activity steeped in strong emotions, or it cannot occur.

Oh, and n/t.
