Scope of ko



It seems like the "personal pro-sumti" checkpoint of the BPFK should be
fairly easy to complete, with just one exception: ko.

I remember some disagreement about the scope of ko, and I'm not sure it
was ever resolved. Does ko cross ije-connectives? If so, how do you
connect a non-imperative statement to an imperative one?

As an example of where the scope of ko really matters, compare these two
sentences:

1. Don't sleep with her just because you want to.
2. Don't sleep with her, because you'll catch an STD.

They require different scopes of a command. How would each one be
expressed?
