STOP BY AND BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD
One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car runs him over, that would be a tragedy.
"No" says Clinton, "that would be an ACCIDENT."
A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy".
"I'm afraid not" explains the Clinton. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS."
The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Clinton searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally, little Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs. Clinton, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens - that would be a tragedy."
"Correct" exclaims Clinton, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," Lil' Johnny said, "cos, like you told us, it wouldn't be no accident, and it sure as f#@k wouldn't be a great loss."
