We once read about cabinets, principled
factors fitted together for results. Cabinets held important papers, solved
insoluble space issues. Long night reading sessions brought home reassuring
impressions of safe joins and right instructions. Cabinets contained only the
best. The people who made them up were solid and knowledgeable. Today it’s
disconcerting reading. Cabinets are makeshift constructions of chance materials,
pop-up planners. Shiny reliable boards are riddled with corruption. It’s a
wonder cabinets hold together, their connections are so slipshod. Parts fall
off. Augustan standards prove April foolishness, assembled using an Ikea key.
It’s time to go back to the drawing-board.
