2. Manifestos exist to challenge and provoke.
3. Manifestos are advertisements.
4. Manifestos come in many forms.
5. Manifestos are better very short than very long.
6. Manifestos are theatrical.
7. Manifestos are fiction dressed as fact.
8. Manifestos embrace paradox.
9. Manifestos are always on the bleeding edge.
10. Manifestos are magic (almost).
