_Teen chops down Britain's
famed 300 year-old
Robin Hood Tree
"A 16-year-old was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
This summer, two tourists were caught carving their names into Rome’s Colosseum.
It’s an example of what philosophers call the unilateralist’s curse:
Even if 99.99% of people want to preserve a thing, it only takes one person to destroy it.
Any public landmark is in constant danger of the rare but unstoppable idiot."
