I was asking my flatmate about that. Isn't asbestos already outlawed and lawsuitworthy and all that? Why reform what's already -- oh.

I need to work. Sigh.
But I did discover there is a neighborhood nearby named Hoes Heights. This amuses me.

Mm. My Chinese food has arrived and I am gleefully blowing away data on the servers. Under orders, even, because as my boss passed my desk on his way to lunch, he urged me to, "Delete! Delete! Delete!"

Watched Toy Story. I keep forgetting the Joss has writing credit for that. I can see him writing the bit where Mr. Potato Head pulls off his lips and touches his butt to mock an ass-kissing toy.
According to the commentary, he also wrote a bit where Mr. Potato Head slips one of his eyes under Bo-Peep's skirt. It was cut for TS1, but was the inspiration for the scene in TS2 when they use his eye to check out the toy collector's room from the air duct before rescuing Woody.

I spent two weeks in a pit of asbestos earlier this year. Ah, what a glamorous life I lead.

Kind of hard to outlaw a naturally occurring mineral.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was in middle school, they were doing a whole lot of renovations on the school, and had to remove the asbestos from the walls they were working with. It was one of the worst-run things I've ever seen. There were some tarps taped over the entrances to the construction zones, but there were always clouds of dust coming up from behind them. I think that every kid in our school with asthma ended up in the ER at least twice that year.

But you can outlaw using it as insulation, and for most industrial uses too. (There may be one or two applications where it is unavoidable - don't know, but there sure as heck are substitutes for most purposes.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, they outlawed naturally growing plants, so it's just part of the dominion of mother earth.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Indeed. And yet they spend a fortune doing so with pot.
