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. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
