Al Sharpton is visiting a primary school and he visits one of the classes.They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the Rev Sharpton if he would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy."
So the illustrious leader 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 runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." "No," says the Great Al Sharpton," 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 the exalted spiritual leader. "That's what we would call a great loss."
The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Rev. Sharpton searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally at the back of the room a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Rev. Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaims Sharpton,"That's right.And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy,"because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident either." ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Subject: A test
MORALLY, WHERE DOST THOU STAND?
With all your honor and dignity what would you do?This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought.By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely,completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.
YOUR TEST
You're in Florida...In Miami,to be exact...There is great chaos going onaround you,caused by a hurricane and severe floods.......There are huge masses of water all over you.... You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster.The situation is nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and peoplefloating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destroying power and is ripping everything away with it.
You see a woman in the water; she is fighting for her life, trying not to be
taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer.
Somehow the woman looks familiar.
Suddenly you know who it is - it's Hillary Clinton!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her away, forever.
You have two options.You can save her or you can take the best photo of your life.
So you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a PulitzerPrize winning photo --- a unique photo displaying the death of one of thecountry's most powerful women.
And here's the question: (Please be honest)

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?

What Are Politics?
A kid goes to his dad and asks, "Dad, what are politics?"
His dad replies, " Put it this way; I am the breadwinner of the family so I am capatilism. Your mom is the owner of the money so she is government. The government is the provider for the people so you are the people. Your baby brother will be the future, and the nanny is the working class. Now think about that."
So he went to bed. He was woken by his brother. The baby had pooped in his daiper. He went to tell his parents, but he only found his mom asleep in the bed. He didn't want to wake her, so he went to the nanny. The door was locked. He checked through a hole and saw the dad in bed with the nanny. He went back to bed. The next morning, he went to his dad and said, "Dad i know what you mean now."
"You do? Tell me."
"OK, while capatilism is screwing the working class, the government is sound asleep, while the people are watching the future being pooped on!!!"
