    I've read a sh-tton of opinions be leading crypto people that encrypting
everything and flooding the net with it is one of the best things that we could
do at this point.  I'm on my fone and llaying down for bed right now, but I
guess I could jfgi if nobody else wants to.  If nothing else it gives me content
to link to in my wiki. :)  Anyway the secure algorithms supposedly lose nothing
in security with a large amount of cyphertext being out in the open, so the end
result is totally positive in the agencies having much more cyphertext to sort
through and no idea what they might be interested in and what is just normal
backgroud chatter.
