I was all depressed and hungover after this Y2K thing happened. Life just seems not worth living when you have a chompanyah hangover and civilization is chugging right along as usual. Asbestos is, as we all know, really nasty and it gives you bad cancer and stuff.
Asbestos is bad, bad, bad dangerous evil shit.
Everybody wants to get rid of asbestos because it makes you real real sick. Even the Canadian Junta has declared that all its colonial government buildings and trading posts must be asbestos-free. They're spending kajillions of worthless Canadian pesos on the project. Well, also, because grouchy French Canadians in Quebec are mad that they're losing their poisonous toxic jobs in the asbestos mines, and the Junta is afraid of the plucky Quebecois, who have been known to commit atrocious acts of barbarism when they get hopped up on speed and split-pea soup.
