Title: Jesse Jackson Post by: Slow_Rider on September 20, 2005, 02:30:37 PM 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."
