Jesse Jackson, while visiting a primary school class, found himself in
>>> the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The
>>> teacher asks the Rev. Jackson if he would like to lead the discussion on
>>> the word "tragedy."
>>>
>>> So the illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a "tragedy."
>>> One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a
>>> farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and
>>> knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy.?
>>>
>>> "No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "that would be an accident."
>>>
>>> A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children
>>> drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
>>>
>>> "I'm afraid not," explains the exalted spiritual leader. "That's what we
>>> would call a great loss."
>>>
>>> The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Rev. Jackson searches
>>> the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a
>>> tragedy?"
>>>
>>> Finally at the back of the room a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet
>>> voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Rev. Jackson were struck by a
>>> missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy."
>>>
>>> "Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson, "That's right. And can you tell me why
>>> that would be a tragedy?"
>>>
>>> "Well," says the boy, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss,
>>> and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."
