Humans Revolve...Not Evolve

For those of you who thought Columbine was a modern phenomenon due to violent video games, music and tv shows: Feature article on Wikipedia today is the Bath School Disaster that occured in 1927 (also referenced in the Columbine article). There is NO such thing as common sense: One man's crazy-talk is another man's logic. Apparently for Andrew Kehoe, the most logical thing to do in retaliation against the property tax that was imposed upon him was to:

1.) Plants hundreds of pounds of Pyrotol in the basement of an elementary school within a few months.
2.) Kills his wife.
3.) Sets his farm buildings on fire.
4.) Explodes the bombs in the school, killing most of the children inside (2nd to 6th grade).
5.) Waits until the rescuers gathered at the site.
6.) Drives up to the rescuers in a shrapnel-filled vehicle.
7.) Detonates the bomb in the vehicle, killing himself and the school superintendent as well as injuring the rescue crew.

Yes, he did it in that order.
