I have seen no rebuttal on the ISO list to my conjecture that most all
of the well-promoted October '97 to now school shootings must have been
orchestrated as to location at least, based on the configuration of
these locations when plotted on a map (see map at
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/1096/usamap.html or plot your own).
I suspect that the whole idea is so bizarre that it is much simpler to
let it slide and be forgotten than to actually look at it square on and
come up with a more comfortable explanation that also accurately fits
the facts.

	So, how about it?  Is anybody game?  Does the absence of response here
mean that everyone considers it to be some evil plot, possibly designed
to accelerate the disarming of the US citizen and thereby hasten a
police state?  Or does it mean that no-one wants to think about the
implications?

	If you look for other school shootings not included in that list of
six, you will probably find some.  Whether or not they should be
included with the other six is debatable.  But even if one or two should
be, it would not reduce the odds by anywhere near the five or six orders
of magnitude needed for these locations to be within the bounds of
random expectation.

	A not unreasonable request:  if you intend to reply, "Your idea is
insane/not worthy of comment" or variants on that theme, please also
include a different rational explanation for this one chance in many
million "coincidence."  I don't consider variations on "God/Satan did
it" to be acceptable as that would be a cop-out.  I don't consider
saying, "I don't have a better explanation but you are definitely wrong"
an acceptable answer either, as that would also be a cop-out.

	If the idea of some group carefully arranging many times for kids to
kill their fellows in order for that group to benefit in some way is
unpleasant, then so be it.  Does anyone have an alternative explanation
that better fits the observed data?

	There must be a lot of bright people on this list.  Does *anyone* have
an alternative rational explanation?   In its absence can we then assume
any other explanation is impossible and the one remaining, the "no
matter how improbable" conspiracy theory, must therefore be true in this
case?

	Is every one of you content to have the conspiracy theory be the best
argument around to explain this series of "coincidences"?  I am sure you
are not, but let's hear a better explanation!

	All the best,
	Paul
