So to fix this, put the plans out to bid then let the buying public vote on the monstrosity of their choice. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

Somehow it seems almost apt ... for the actual daily activities of its inmates; it could even stimulate the arabesques of Imagination necessary for "The New" to sorta begin to happen. Maybe. (But that IS a quite specialized population.) Foisting this cognitive dissonance on all comers .. abject victims having to commute there daily and/or those forced to look at it (as that French square-penis sticking up for what can only be described as No Reason At All) ..that stuff remains the least interesting aspect of the jejune, as we Conservatives (not those Reactionary imposters) like to say.

As I have not seen it, perhaps it's different in real life. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

They're a cornered rat, and quite frankly, I think they have rabies to boot. I'd rather not get too close to them.
