After 35 years, I knew damn-well that you creepy,
\nconspiring, incestuous, artworld-acolytes wouldn’t fund my
\nmedia project (even in this time of urgent-need), but
\nreturning my audiovisual support material with a snotty
\nletter stating that the application was incomplete due to
\nmissing audiovisual support material–and so wouldn’t even
\nbe adjudicated, is a new low. Do you actually get paid (with
\nmy tax-dollars) for this disservice?!<\/p>\n

1) given your refusal of even marginal funding and hostile rejection of applications for over 35 years, subsequent applications will be filed only upon receipt of a $50,000 fee in advance<\/p>\n

2) given your refusal of funding\/validation (and consequently, employment and exhibition opportunities), for 35 years, your oppressive\/restrictive current application requirements cannot possibly be entertained<\/p>\n

3) a written apology and explanation of your past corrupt behaviour is also demanded<\/p>\n

4) failure to reply within seven (7) days and submit fees may result in legal restitution procedures\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
