Tragedy" (From a modelers point of view)

President Bill Clinton is visiting an elementary school today and he

visits one of the classes (4th grade I believe). They are in the

middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The

teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the

discussion of the word, "tragedy." So our illustrious leader 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 flying his brand new 1/4 scale Extra, and he gets hit,

destroying the plane, because he forgot his frequency pin, that would

be a tragedy."

"No," says Clinton, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raises her hand: "If a 42% Edge crashed into the TOC

spectators,

killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," explains Mr. President. "That's what we would call a

GREAT LOSS."

The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Clinton

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 small boy raises his hand. In

a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. & Mrs. Clinton,

was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a

tragedy.

"Fantastic," exclaims Clinton, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY

that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it

certainly would be no great loss."
