BLAG Fortune
============
This is my repository for my ongoing project to have English language political fortunes in BLAG.

Requirements
------------
All you need is fortune mod. On Debian-based systems:

    $ sudo apt-get install fortune-mod

Installation
------------
To install:

    $ sudo make install distro=debian

To uninstall:

    $ sudo make uninstall distro=debian

Where distro=debian should be replaced with your distribution's name. For example, on Fedora say distro=fedora.

For supported distribution options, [look here](DISTROS.md).

Running
-------
To run the program, simply say

    $ fortune anarchism
    When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier 
    if it is called "the People's Stick."
                ----+- Mikhail Bakunin -+----

Here is a more whimsical example:

    $ fortune anarchism | cowsay
     _________________________________________
    / Whosoever lays a hand on me in order to \
    | govern me is a usurper and a tyrant; I  |
    | declare him my enemy.                   |
    |                                         |
    \ ----+- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon -+----    /
     -----------------------------------------
            \   ^__^
             \  (oo)\_______
                (__)\       )\/\
                    ||----w |
                    ||     ||

Show fortunes on Bash startup
-----------------------------
> I want to see fortunes when my terminal starts, as in BLAG 140000!

To do this quickly, enter the following command:

    $ echo -e "\nfortune -s anarchism\necho" >> $HOME/.bashrc

To disable the fortunes, remove these lines from $HOME/.bashrc:

    fortune -s anarchism
    echo
