Great Loss
George W. Bush was visiting an
elementary school, and the 4th grade class he sat through
began a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked the President if he would
like to lead the class in a discussion of the word "tragedy."
So, George W. asked the class for an example of a tragedy.
One boy stood up and said, "If my best
friend who lives next door is playing in the street and a
car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."
"No," said Bush, "that would
be an accident."
A girl raised her hand and said, "If
a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing
everyone on board, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," the President
said. "That's what we would call a Great Loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
President Bush searched the room and asked, "Isn't there
someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally, way in the back of the room, Johnny
raised his hand, and in a quiet voice, he said, "If Air
Force One, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile
and blown up to smithereens, THAT would be a tragedy."
"That's right! And can you tell me WHY
that would be a tragedy?" asked the President.
"Well," Johnny said, "because
it wouldn't be an accident and it sure as hell wouldn't be
a Great Loss..."
