+;;; 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!
