Back when president Obama was on the campaign trail for his second term he made a publicity stop at an elementary school. During this stop Obama sat in on a vocabulary lesson. When the word tragedy came up, Obama stood up and told the teacher he'd be happy to teach the class the meaning of the word. So, Obama walked to the front of the class and asked, "who here thinks they can give an example of a tragedy?" A little girl in the front row eagerly raised here hand and Obama called on her to give an example. "If a school bus full of innocent children rolled over a cliff and killed everyone inside that'd be a tragedy." "No," Obama said, "that's what we'd call a terrible loss. Does anyone else think they have an example?" Another little girl raised her hand and when Obama pointed to her she said, "If we were tubing and my dad ran over my sister with the boat and killed her that would be a tragedy." Obama frowned and said, "no that's what we would call an accident. I'll give you one more try, who thinks they have a good example of a tragedy?" The students looked around at each other until finally a little boy in the back stood up and said "if you were flying in Air Force one and were shot down and killed by friendly fire, that would be a tragedy." Obama smiled and said," Great! That [b]would[/b] be a tragedy. Can you tell us all why that would be a tragedy young man?" The little boy nodded and said, [spoiler]"It would have to be a tragedy because it wouldn't be a terrible loss and you can bet your black ass it wouldn't be an accident." [/spoiler]
