Power Windows

So I was driving home from work, and wanted to roll down my window. I did so by pressing a button. I didn't even have to hold it, just a tap and the window rolled completely down. A thoughtful accessory from Saturn engineers, after they had sufficiently hidden away the oil filter so you won't find it, even if someone told you where to look.

And, I got to thinking. Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have that in your house...

HEY! WHY THE FUCK DON'T HOMES HAVE POWER WINDOWS? HUH? How come my mother's 1978 Monte Carlo had power windows but the houses contractors knock together in half an hour don't?

How come when I go to leave the house in the morning, there is not a button near the front door which shuts and locks all the windows? I have never even heard of such a thing. Go ahead, do a web search. The only "Power Windows" you will find are books on the Microsoft Operating System, and the phenomenal album from Rush.

This seems wrong somehow, in homes that need to have AIR EXCHANGERS (IE: Holes In The Walls) because they are so damn tight you would die of asphyxiation otherwise.

How come I have to think of this crap? How come we haven't seen this on the Red Green Show?

Anyone who wants to run with this idea, I want two percent for coming up with it first.
