-quick'n'dirty+With our enthusiastic adherence to Futurism we aim:
  
 +  - To destroy the cult of the past, the obsession with all things old, academic pedantry, and formalism
 +  - To cast our scorn profoundly on every last form of imitation
 +  - To exalt every form of originality, even if foolhardy, even if extremely violent
 +  - To bear bravely and proudly the smear of "madness" with which they try to gag all innovators
 +  - To look on the lot of computer "scientists" as at one and the same time useless and dangerous
 +  - To rebel against the tyranny of the words "extensible" and "reusable" expressions so elastic that they can just as easily be used to demolish the art of Atkinson, Baumgart and Deutsch as well
 +  - To sweep out of the mental field of programming all themes and subjects already exploited
 +  - To render and magnify the life of today, incessantly and tumultuously transformed by science triumphant
