		<description>&lt;p&gt;One caveat:&lt;/p&gt;

I use the &quot;dashboard&quot; comment interface a lot.  Pictures show up there, but imbedded videos using my method do not.

Links to videos, and Podrock&#039;s method at least show up as links.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Start here:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://cei.org/10kc/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The 10,000 Commandments&lt;/a&gt;

PDF document &lt;a href=&quot;http://cei.org/sites/default/files/Wayne%20Crews%20-%2010,000%20Commandments%202011.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here,&lt;/a&gt; with charts.

And this is just Federal.  There are states, counties, cities, and God knows what else to deal with, all the way down to those goddam condo committees.

The human animal seems to have an inborn urge to run other people&#039;s lives whether they want it or not.  Some &quot;Alpha Monkey&quot; thing.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The easiest way I found is to go to the YouTube page for a video.&lt;/p&gt;

Most videos imbedded in something else will take you to the YouTube page if you click on &quot;YouTube&quot; on the image.

From there, click on the &quot;Share&quot; button, and then click on the &quot;Embed&quot; button.

A paragraph of code will be given that you just copy and paste.  No typing needed.

You can set some preferences underneath to change the code.

I just figured this out recently myself.</description>

		<description>It would be nice to fix everything at once, but humans don&#039;t have that kind of foresight.  

One thing that makes me sick is how conservatives always make the same comments about regulations ad nauseam but almost never mention any specifically, unless they are so preposterous that they deserve mention.  But that&#039;s cherry picking a few bad regulations.  You look at all government regulations and I bet AT LEAST 9 out of 10 there is a very good reason for it.</description>

		<description>Sure Tom.  And any form of social welfare, will automatically steer us in this direction.

If your ludicrous comparison was even remotely true, then all socialized states would be tyrannies, and the more socialized a state was the more tyrannical it would be.  And states with no social services at all, like Haiti, would be all be Democratic paradises.

No Tom, all your phony historical comparisons are devised to cover up the fact that you simply cannot abide the idea of anyone seeing a doctor or going to school on your tax dollar.

Just think, if I had been born in a country like that I&#039;d probably be working for someone who felt that way.  So would you, come to think of it.</description>

		<description>Hey now...

Calm down before you guys say something you regret later.  After all, it doesn&#039;t matter who&#039;s wrong or right :D

&lt;a href=&#039;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRdxUFDoQe0&#039;  rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;watch?v=oRdxUFDoQe0&lt;/a&gt;

On a side note, anyone else here know how to embed a video?</description>
