    President George W. Bush is visiting an elementary school, and he visits one of the 4th grade classes. The students and their teacher are in the middle of a discussion about words and their meanings.
    The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word "tragedy, " so the president asks the class for an example of a tragedy.
    One little boy stands up and offers, "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" says Bush, "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 President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS."
    The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
    Finally, way in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
    "Correct" exclaims Bush, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?"
    "Well," Lil' Johnny said, "because, like you just told us, it wouldn't be an accident, and it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss."
