apology to MS



Apologies to Max Sawicky for saying that he'd overlook sexism and
homophobia among the PKs. I thought he went a bit too far out of his way in
this:

>The subjugation of women is the easiest argument against
>the PK's, since they are relatively open about it, but in
>practice I wonder how important it will turn out to be.
>Why will men who have heretofore declined to dominate their
>households now find themselves able and willing to do so?
>If it's by invoking a virtuous framework of conduct for
>themselves, aren't they then submitting themselves to a higher,
>external authority, as opposed to pushing women around?  Don't
>they open up their own conduct to criticism by their spouses?

but he was clear on the homophobia issue. Sorry, Max, for recklessness and
haste.
