scraped clean and no one worries about the asbestoes that may be there. I
know I don't. It takes 20 years of daily exposure before you MIGHT display
a symptom 20 years after that. Asbestoes is all hype. Another government
intervention on a good product.

Maybe a good product but the manufacturers and companies that used it
were the problem. Johns-Manville knew for generations that constant
exposure was a problem and hid that fact. Ask anyone who is still alive
(or their survivors) who has asbestosis or lung cancer because they
worked in a shipyard and were exposed to it without any protection how
much hype it is.
