I, for one, hope this trend of fulminating Senators continues in this country.

"Though the state's Department of Forestry once suspected arson, the fire is now being treated as an accident."

So you're implying God made a mistake? Don't question Him when He's all smitey.

I wondered if that was a possible explanation, even though we are awash in hooligan stupidity.

Stand out in the open for 3,500 years and see if you don't get hit by lightning.

Actually they think it's arson again. We need a follow-up to the follow-up

Well subby, I'm guessing God destroyed it with his awesome powers because them wici folks worship trees, and was it not a tree that lead Eve to the serpent? Satan lives in all these leafy temptress! We must raise up and conquer this threat to our religious freedom

What happened to all the people jumping to conclusions posting in the original thread screaming for people to burn in hell for burning the tree? Oh yeah, people are dumb and forget being wrong. It's better for their ego.

When it's your time, He takes you, by lightening or by arson or even by termites. Nothing on earth lasts forever.

If you'd read the thread, you'd have found out that the original linked article said that it was arson, then was changed long into the thread.

So you can forget you ever posted that now.

I used to go there and smoke weed before heading over to the flea market down the street. Tree was huge.
