The message I got was that he chose to kill/maime innocent people in order to make a point. Whether or not one agrees with the point, it seems rare to me that a mere mortal would have an idea or set of ideas worth the surreptitious killing of innocent people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Innocence is sometimes a relative term that depends on your perspective. To a man like Kosinski who is intent on saving Nature and therefore the world, a leader of industry is not considered innocent. To mainstream society which is eager for more of the comforts and conveniences created by technology, Ted Kosinski is not considered innocent. Although I do not condone his methods, I think he is looking at a larger picture than most people.
