Asbestos

I keep seeing these commercials with elderly people talking about the need for the creation of a fund to compensate "victims of asbestos". Ok look. If you are 105 years old and you were allegedly exposed to asbestos 60 years or more ago, then obviously the asbestos didn't have too much of an effect on you! They want to show some old decrepid 100 year old man on a breather and blame asbestos. WRONG! He may or may not have been exposed to asbestos but the reason he can't breathe could be a thousand different reasons, one of which being...he's 100 years old!
In another commercial there's a woman with leathery, wrinkled skin claming that her lung cancer was caused by asbestos exposure. Yeah yeah...we all know how it is. You want to blame your problems on someone else and claim there was nothing you could have done about it. I'm sure the 40 years of smoking 2 packs a day had nothing to do with it, right? It's your fault! Now take some goddamned responsibility for your own fate caused by your own actions! NO MONEY FOR YOU!! And that's the other thing. These people don't want anything except one thing. MONEY! They don't care about anything else, it seems. Money makes everything better, right? "Yeah my family was killed and I have nobody now. Just give me 5 million dollars and I'll be fine." That's the mentality of tragedy and loss these days. No compassion whatsoever. That's what's wrong with America these days.
