What Is Loitering, Really?
America’s laws against lingering have roots in Medieval and Elizabethan England. Since 1342, the goal has always been to keep anyone “out of place” away.

@livingcities Loitering? Isn't that the crime of not working all day for a capitalist, and/ or not being so exhausted when you're not working that you have the chuztpah to hang out in public places without buying anything?

Roseanne blamed her bizarre racist tweets on Ambien. The manufacturer's response:

Dear people like me,
The next time you feel like saying "Not all <whatever>" to someone complaining about <whatever>, stop and think for a moment.
Was it directed at you? Is their argument correct? Are you part of a group that is actually guilty of this? Is defending yourself going to do more harm than good because you're derailing a conversation about an actual problem?
Even if you are actually innocent, it is likely you could be doing more to help. Just stop and think about what they said.

English trivia (sorry, jordy): "a" is to "an" as "thy" is to "thine". That is, "thy" comes before a consonant, and "thine" comes before a vowel. "Thy seeds", "thine acorns".
