  1. You see, it tangles in with other fibers and breaks off
    into the air gradually! It even stays intertwined with your
    body hair. Think of that next time you lean on a plaster wall.
    Yes, that quaint "plaster and lathe" you thought was superior
    to sheetrock is 30% asbestos if it was made or patched
    between 1920 and 1980! Ah, the glories of the affectation of
    being urban vermin! And you like playing with the bottom of
    your shoes while you talk on the phone at work? Just after you
    walked all over that white construction debris on the sidwalk?
    You got it, dude! 30% asbestos! All over your belongings so
    you can pass it on to your grandchildren as well!
    Hey, isn't historic preservation just grand! Let's preserve
    all the toxic stuff to pas son to our grandchildren so we can
    say we so nobly resisted urban "sprawl"! Don't tear those toxic
    antiquities down! We want to keep on breathing them!
    Isn't urban affectation, grand! But then again, if you're
    reading this, you don't know, because urban luddites
    hate the internet because it keeps them from experiencing
    the stimulation of urban cockaroach life!
    And speaking of cockaroaches and pidgeons and rodents,
    your smaller fellow urban vermin (that you inevitably eat),
    they make nesting material from asbestos and spread it all over.
    Yes, you do eat them - they are everywhere in your
    beloved sprawl-less city! And when your office moved, did you see
    the debris-strwen sidewalk they parked your files on?

    =====
    They used to put asbestos in: bakelite, plaster of Paris,
    sheetrock joints, ceiling "sand" paint, foot-callous pumice,
    wall shingles, floor tiles, pipe insulation, skyscraper ceiling
    insulation, floortile (black-tar-like) "mastic" (even under
    ceramic bath tiles), and roofing shingles. They spread it with
    "don't ask, don't tell" electricians and dust-covered
    workers on your busses and dumpster leftovers on your sidewalk.
