Poison in Your Heart~

I just read an article about possibly the most stupid thing on earth.  A man poisoned an opposing university's hundred year old trees, because they won again.  Apparently , he had "had it up to here", with them and decided this was a great way to "get them back".  The poison he used has no antidote, so there is no doubt that the trees will die.  The last thing I read about it was an article saying that he may be charged with an "eco-terrorist" charge, because the poison could seep into the local water supply.  (Ok, now that I've laid out the scene, I can now jump up on the soap box.  ) This is Arkansas , so people take football and other sports VERY seriously.  I mean , VERY.  I could not say VERY enough times to emphasize how people are about it.  There is nothing wrong with organized sports.  There's nothing wrong with being a football fan.  But, if you are rabid enough to perform sabotage on a hundred year old tree, you are more than just a football fan.  You have issues.  I mean , seriously?  What if the poison seeps into the ground and some child dies?  What if not only does it kill the trees, but contaminates the drinking water like they are saying?   There are a hundred things that a "normal" person would consider before pouring industrial strength herbicide out on the ground.  But, the fact is, this guy is NOT normal.  He used the poison to kill trees, but the poison is really in his own heart.  For to be that spiteful, and uncaring, his heart had been poisoned for a long time.  Football, baseball, basket ball, soccer and hockey.  They call them "games" for a reason . These are not Mayan death ball matches,  it is still supposed to be fun.  I would venture to say, that if you were this poisoned in your mind, and heart, that games stopped being fun for you , a long time ago.
