And as long as we are taking a peek down the Rabbit Hole, let's discuss the implications of a program like Main Core. Anyone here who thinks they are of legitimate interest to the government, raise your hand . . . that's right, they are only interested in deciphering the works of GoodCelery! and BeBop-O.
I have to take offense to this on two counts:
First off, GoodCelery/bebop-o is one of the kindest people I am acquainted with, and does a lot to undo the things this government slimes itself with in not supporting the troops/veterans. Many of his posts are full of insights and are not always easy.
Second off, the government would literally start pulling all of everyone's eye teeth down at NSA if that's what it would take to get a computer program that could understand his posts. Government contractors begin to salivate and develop a far off gleam in their eyes if they even hear that someone is working on such a program, and it produces an immediate business card and a "Let's talk." Not because of what bebop-o is saying, but because poetry is the ultimate form of encryption.
