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