   You see, it tangles in with other fibers and breaks off   
   into the air gradually! It even stays intertwined with your   
   body hair and the dust mites make it worse. 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.
