Before you accuse me of going crazy, I point out that Vancouver, Canada, has passed the law banning door handles.
This is a growing trend in the United States.
It\'s only a matter of time before some lazy, unimaginative, meddled politicians introduce parallel laws in Australia.
Banning round door handles and replacing the logic behind them with leverage has some advantages --
