Systems are constructed from an assumption of correctness...they are built 
backwards from this assumption--> modern structure responds to errors by 
a refusal to admit error. It responds to failure by a denial of failure. 
The system could prove that it does work by simply responding to problems 
with an open mind, rapidly and positively, eager to find solutions. 
Instead it automatically goes into a defensive pose, throws out 
diversions intended to slow criticism, then spends time and money to 
prove factually that there is no problem. As a final ploy it will attempt 
to gain time for new ploys by agreeing to negotiate. If even this fails, 
the system will drop its own position, grasp that of the other side and 
treat the new position as if it were an absolute truth always 
known...There is no room for error, except through some properly laid-out 
procedure....


	| The Dead-Artist Desert Trailer-Park is located in the American 
	| Southwest Desert. I basically inherited (after paying back-taxes)
	| an isolated, derelict trailer-park which is being 
	| transformed without the interference  of cultural bureaucrats 
	| into a working resource for creative pursuits. The financial 
	| overhead is practically non-existent; intelligent applicants are 
	| told the location of the Trailer-Park and given written permission 
	| to abide there. Usually some structural and creative contribution 
	| is made to the Park during your stay. No application fees, slides,
	| or resumes are required or desired. A questionnaire is sent to all
	| applicants. Expect to receive this late summer of 1994; an 
	| electronic response is preferred.
