The reverend Jesse jackson and Al sharpton,while visiting a primary school classfound themselvesin a discusionof the word"tragedy".So the illustrios reverend Jesse jackson asks the class for an example of the word tragedy.One little boy stood upand offered,If my best friend who lives on a farm,is playing inthe field and a run away tractor comes along and knocks him dead, thats a tragdy.Alittle girl raises her hand, if a school bus carry 50 kids drove off a cliff , killing every one on board, that wouldbe a tragedy.No reverend Al sharpton says,that we would call a great loss. The rooms silent.No other children volunteered.Reverend Al searches the room, isn't thier anyonehere who can give me a example of a tragedy?Finally, at the back of the room, little johnny raises his hand.In a stern voice, little johnny says,If a plane carrying jesse jackson and al sharpton,was struck by a missle and blown to smithereens,that would be a tragedy!!Fantastic exclaims reverend jackson and sharpton. Thats right, and can you tell me why its a tragedy?Well says little johnny, because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss,and it definitely wouldn't be a accident either.
