27. Q1.
• Everyone, who deals with organizations understands the
bureaucratic logic of X . In high school or college, for
example, students can participate in student government, a
form of self-government and democracy that allows them
to decide whatever they want, just so long as the principal
or dean of students approves. This bogus democracy that
can be overruled by arbitrary fiat is perhaps a citizen's first
encounter with organizations that may profess 'open' and
libertarian values, but in fact are closed and hierarchical
systems. X is an organizational assumption, an unwritten
law of informal power that excepts the organization from
responsibility and accountability, and puts the individual in
the absurd position of being excepted for the convenience
or unknown purposes of the organization

29. • CATCH -22

30. Q2
• Now red X is the best receptacle
From barbecues, tailgates, fairs and festivals
And you sir do not have a pair of testicles
If you prefer drinkin' from glass
Hey red X is cheap and disposable

And unlike my home they are not foreclosable
Freddie Mac can kiss my ass, woo!
Red X, I fill you up
Let's have a party, let's have a party
I love you red X, I lift you up,
Proceed to party, proceed to party

• There were a lot of expectations from fans when

conceptual art. Unsure about this, X made his
decision by
“…to make sure I was on the right track I took the book of
