When NYer's burned a quarantine hospital

1858 people didn't even know what germs and viruses were, so they couldn't understand why the government was locking people up without a trial.

I am guessing this is what life is like for people with a restricted license after their DWI.

Read the link and you can't help but realize it had more to do with money than unknown germ theory or principles.
 
If you see a fiddle player with gas and matches; report him to the authorities.

Don't believe the rumors spread by Nero's enemies after his death. There were no fiddles for him to play when Rome burned. Lyres, yes. The fire started in the ancient wood tenement slums of Rome, and destroyed them. Enabling Nero to start an urban renewal plan previously thwarted by the slumlords, the rich of Rome and they were his enemies. He screwed them royally, confiscated their land in the name of Rome, disallowing from building more slums, eliminating their income. More of a Robert Moses of his day than a fiddler on the roof or anywhere else.

I'm pretty sure Nero played a Strat. I might be thinking of someone else though.

Rome also had a problem with homelessness. A multitude perhaps, or maybe just throngs with Bic lighters.

Bic lighters weren't around, no plastic. Zippos by the Emperor's decree.
