And it’s as true of sex as it is of everything else. You can get it by negotiation… or you can get it by brute force. So, let’s try to agree on the basics. Wouldn’t you all agree that we’re better off generally if stick with consensual, peaceful, cooperative ways to get what we want in life?’ The audience was quiet.”
