gs> The PKers are not some monolithic group out to seize political power;
    they're men who want to live their lives as good Christians.

bw> Are you unaware of the Religious Right's political agenda?

  I am quite aware. I'm also aware of the political agendas of lots of groups
  of people, some of whom are worse than the RR. Besides, the PKers and the
  RR are not one and the same.

bw> Or of its growing influence?

  Ah yes, and there are Commies under every bed. Their influence will grow
  only if everyone else lets it. Don't blame me for the fact that people
  don't give a damn about voting.

bw> Do you think that having public schools teach Creationism, or making sex
    between members of the same gender illegal is harmless?

  I'd rather public schools didn't exist as they are now. A voucher system
  would be a good start. That way, all the loonies can go to the school of
  their choice -- one that teaches Creationism, say, or one that teaches
  that the Americas were a paradise-on-earth before the evil white man con-
  quered and raped them.

  I'd also like to get rid of nearly all the sex-related laws. This is where
  I have the biggest problem with the RR.

  What about their views on laws that sanction abortion? Aren't those laws
  harmful too?

bw> The PK'ers are a group of people who explicitly and actively advocate the
    philosophy which leads to laws such as those.

  So? Advocating a philosophy isn't sufficient reason to censor someone. Not
  yet, at least. There are philosophies at least as odorous as that of the
  PKers; are you prejudiced against those who believe them as well?

bw> As such they are dangerous. To me, to my friends, to my descendants, and
    to many many other people.  They need to be argued against and denounced.

  Argued against. Denounced is a little too strong. Besides, the PKers are
  hardly the biggest threat to our liberties. We have a woma- er, I mean,
  *man* in the White House who has already damaged our liberties and intends
  to inflict a great deal more damage.
