you were tempered in post ww2 economic expansion chemicals/fumes....remember when margarine was healthy, folks hung DDT saturated Shell no pest strips in their kitchens, agent orange showers on viet nam troops. i remember chasing the malathion belching mosquito fogger going through the neighborhood on my green schwinn stingray..or getting a snowstorm of asbestos fibers in my face from steam pipe insulation doing drug searches onboard my ship....my family may have to get an epa permit to do my cremation
