If every one could express "sorrow", and had recourse to some public
condolence-servers... and could see stupidity's scope... and inference
engines re-presented our "delight", "sorrow", "hope", and such:

compassionate intent.

Kevin's prior post (which subject I'd encapsulated into mine own prior and
this one)  lampooned social overhead of implementing "security" through
senseless (sensor-less, as in non-glasnost) gravity... through levity, I
get out from under that overhead:

For as long as I'm able, I'll cheer a land wherein I may freely choose to
encrypt or not... I'll grumblingly acknowledge a land where I feel obliged
to begin encrypting what I'd rather say freely, but !hey... for today...

p.s... "plain text for plain text"... !hahahahahaha-ah-ha... yes, how

p.s... as to translation, internet affords one ready recourse to pursue
merely unfamiliar phrases... take "ecv"
