27 ;;; Commentary: | |
28 | |
29 ;; This program was written to protest the miss-named "Communications | |
30 ;; Decency Act of 1996. This Act bans "indecent speech", whatever that is, | |
42041 | 31 ;; from the Internet. For more on the CDA, see Richard Stallman's essay on |
20323 | 32 ;; censorship, included in the etc directory of emacs distributions 19.34 |
33 ;; and up. See also http://www.eff.org/blueribbon.html. | |
34 | |
35 ;; For many years, emacs has included a program called Spook. This program | |
36 ;; adds a series of "keywords" to email just before it goes out. On the | |
37 ;; theory that the NSA monitors people's email, the keywords would be | |
38 ;; picked up by the NSA's snoop computers, causing them to waste time | |
39 ;; reading your meeting schedule notices or other email boring to everyone | |
40 ;; but you and (you hope) the recipient. See below (I left in the original | |
41 ;; writeup when I made this conversion), or the emacs documentation at | |
42 ;; ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/emacs-manual*. | |
43 | |
44 ;; Bruce is a direct copy of spook, with the word "spook" replaced with | |
45 ;; the word "bruce". Thanks to "esr", whoever he, she or it may be, this | |
46 ;; conversion was an extremely easy piece of editing, suitable for a first | |
47 ;; essay at elisp programming. | |
48 | |
49 ;; You may think of the name as having been derived from a certain Monty | |
50 ;; Python routine. Or from Lenny Bruce, who opposed censorship in his own | |
51 ;; inimitable way. Bruce does exactly what Spook does: it throws keywords | |
52 ;; into your email messages or other documents. | |
53 | |
54 ;; However, in order to comply with the CDA as interpreted by Richard | |
55 ;; Stallman (see the essay on censorship), bruce is distributed without a | |
56 ;; data file from which to select words at random. Sorry about that. I | |
57 ;; believe the average user will be able to come up with a few words on | |
58 ;; his or her own. If that is a problem, feel free to ask any American | |
42041 | 59 ;; teenager, preferably one who attends a government school. Failing |
20323 | 60 ;; that, you might write to Mr. Clinton or Ms Reno or their successors and |
61 ;; ask them for suggestions. Think of it as a public spirited act: the | |
62 ;; time they spend answering you is time not spent persecuting someone | |
63 ;; else. However, do ask them to respond by snail mail, where their | |
64 ;; suggestions would be legal. | |
65 | |
66 ;; To build the data file, just start a file called bruce.lines in the etc | |
67 ;; directory of your emacs distribution. Note that each phrase or word has | |
68 ;; to be followed by an ascii 0, control-@. See the file spook.lines in | |
69 ;; the etc directory for an example. In emacs, use c-q c-@ to insert the | |
70 ;; ascii 0s. | |
71 | |
72 ;; Once you have edited up a data file, you have to tell emacs how to find | |
42041 | 73 ;; the program bruce. Add the following two lines to your .emacs file. Be |
20323 | 74 ;; sure to uncomment the second line. |
75 | |
76 ;; for bruce mode | |
77 ;; (autoload 'bruce "bruce" "Use the Bruce program to protest the CDA" t) | |
78 | |
79 ;; Shut down emacs and fire it up again. Then "M-x bruce" should put some | |
80 ;; shocking words in the current buffer. | |
81 | |
82 | |
83 ;; Please note that I am not suggesting that you actually use this program | |
84 ;; to add "illegal" words to your email, or any other purpose. First, you | |
85 ;; don't really need a program to do it, and second, it would be illegal | |
86 ;; for me to suggest or advise that you actually break the law. This | |
87 ;; program was written as a demonstration only, and as an act of political | |
88 ;; protest and free expression protected by the First Amendment, or | |
89 ;; whatever is left of it. | |
90 | |
91 | |
92 ;; We now return to the original writeup for spook: | |
93 | |
94 ;; Steve Strassmann <straz@media-lab.media.mit.edu> didn't write the | |
95 ;; program spook, from which this was adapted, and even if he did, he | |
96 ;; really didn't mean for you to use it in an anarchistic way. | |
97 ;; | |
98 ;; To use this: | |
99 ;; Just before sending mail, do M-x spook. | |
100 ;; A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help | |
101 ;; give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated | |
102 ;; keyword scanners. Help defeat the NSA trunk trawler! | |
