[grsec] Updates for 2.6.32.27 patches, what are they about?

[Miguel Ghobangieno]

Is grsecurity compatable with human rights?
Today we understand that for human rights to exist, young marraige of females must be stamped out completely. Many cultures still marry girls at puberty, which is usually 12 or 13, but can be as young as 9! The only way to stop this is to create police states and surveillance societies, to end all secrets.
Grsecurity helps people keep secrets by increasing security.
This is in opposition to women's rights, human rights, and supports the evil acts of men who take sweet and compliant young brides at puberty.

How can you support and continue such acts?
Think of the women and girls.
Spit on the men.
