John Kerry visits a school classroom. They are in the middle of a
discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks Mr.
Kerry if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy." So
the illustrious Senator asks the class for an example of a tragedy.

One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend, who lives on a
farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him,
that would be a 'tragedy'."

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

A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children
drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.

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

The room goes silent. No other children volunteered. Kerry searches the
room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a
"tragedy"?" Finally, at the back of the room little Johnny raises his
hand.In a quiet voice, he says: "If your campaign plane, carrying you,
Mr. Kerry,were struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to
smithereens, that would be a "tragedy"."

"Fantastic!" exclaims Kerry. "That's right. And can you tell me why
that would be a "tragedy"?" "Well," says little Johnny " because it
certainly wouldn't be a "great loss"
and it probably wouldn't be an "accident" either.

You voted for Bush.

Like water..... I adjust my flow according to the landscape.

Like water you also have no backbone, no form and no courage. You simply
stagnate and evaporate leaving a residue of indifference.

Bobsprit November 9th 04 06:35 PM

My agreement or disagreement will change nothing regarding the conflict
Bob.... yet you seem disturbed by my total disregard for your convictions?


Not at all. I simply dislike leeches.

You must gain a man's respect to have them take serious consideration of
your views.

Nice try, but dopey comments like that will only work on Loco. This is not
about MY views. It's about the fact that have none and you've already admitted
that, comparing yourself to water.
Disgusting.

Water: seeks the path of least resistance and cannot rise above it's
own level without assistance.


Good Grief... that's Deep!

Make certain to stop at intervals on your way up.... you might get the
bends.
