Incidentally, why isn't "spacecraft" another word for "interior design"?

Come up with a way to enforce an ' designer law ' wherein industrial designers would, for a minimum period of time, be legally forced to use & live with the product they've created.

       It was suggested many years ago that Sir Alec Issigonis be made to change a Mini fan-belt every morning before breakfast.

       Uhm. I can't parse that, Rods Tiger. Add more words?   

       My mom has asked for a similar law applying to architects.

       Good idea, especially those people who are now trying to list (like a preservation order) hideous 1970s flats in the UK.

       Rods: Do you mean that you think of ID as mere ornamentation (applied decor)?   

       I agree with Jutta's mom, too. Unfortunately it's hard to test architecture because once it's built . . . it's done.  Those 3D walkthrough simulations don't seem to me to give a person a true sense of what a finished structure is going to be like to live in.

       Or even if its structurally sound (Millennium Bridge anyone?)

       Oh, I thought this was analogous to designer drugs. Design your own custom made laws and sell them to unsuspecting law addicts on the streets, then watch them become paralyzed as the designer laws destroy their free will.

       should be extended to people being made to consume products they bake/ drink ones they create/use things they design etc.

Imagine they stuff we wouldn't have:

TV
pop-tarts
cat food
baby food
McDonalds'
MSN
Parking Fines
