This is amazing and repeated all over the country. The wood was treated with arsenic as a preservative. Everybody knew it at the time. It was sold all over. People have it in their backyard playscapes. Now it's verboten.

Similarly, fiberglass batting was always a cancer and lung risk. It has been used for decades. Now they put stickers on it and cover both sides to prevent health damage.

Before it was asbestos, mercury and lead.
Doctors used to advertise for healthy cigarettes at one time.

As a species, we're really not too advanced.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Cancer

Hold it! You need to approach things in a calm, controlled manner today otherwise you're likely to get yourself into a state in no time at all. That's especially likely if you're trying to meet a deadline because you'll start to panic and then become all fingers and thumbs. You might also get extremely ratty with anyone who gets in your way or asks stupid questions. Come on, is that fair?
