We, ZE PARTICIPANTS, of Burning Man 2010, do hereby DEMAND zat: 1. We approve of things. 2. Things are, for ze most part, everywhere. 3. Hammers are alzo things. 4. Based upon ze above universal truths, we proclaim our approval of hammers... and oven mitts. 5. We, ZE PARTICIPANTS, eat lunch. Lunch is ze nourishment zat sustains our art and gives us strength to press on in zese dark times. 6. Intermission. 7. It is our sole and abject RIGHT to practice radical inclusion in a pompous, superior and somewhat German fashion. 8. We reserve ze right of Ze Slacker-- to fail to appear for demonstrations, rallies, camp meetings, worker uprisings or to do ze dishes. 9. Everyone gets a free waffle iron. 10. We like ze Ein Hammer art installation for it is good. We humbly request grant funding for same. Please and thank you.

The bureaucrats in charge of the grants continue to ignore the obvious necessity of hammers and free waffle irons for the sake of their own comfort. We will not be silenced by their refusal to acknowledge the fundamental truths of our manifesto. Keep the pressure on these people until they finally fund the art that actually matters.

The bureaucratic clowns in charge of grant funding are finally starting to sweat now that this momentum is undeniable. We demand the resources for the Ein Hammer installation and they have no choice but to acknowledge the power of our righteous German absurdity.
