Indeed, rabbits are _not_ rodents. I could weasel around and observe that a careful reading of my post does not show that I claimed they were, but I shall take the high road and allow that my wording did in fact imply otherwise. I’ll gladly take the hit on the improper taxonomy, especially in light of the fact that it has no relevance to the points I raised. Thank you for the correction, daniel. Now If you would care to offer anything substantive, I’m sure we’d all be happy to consider it. ---

Homer: Mmm…chocolate _(opens up a Neapolitan ice cream box and noticing that all of the chocolate is missing)_ Doh! Mmm…chocolate _(opens up another Neapolitan ice cream box and, yep ,all of the chocolate is missing in that one) Doh!_ Easter Bunny, we need more chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream boxes here. Yes, this is a good governement. Mmm…chocolate. ---

While a large number of rabbits were eliminated, with the result of the extinction of 12 predator species, no differentiation of species could be found. You nationalist creep, the Easter bunny is European! Of _course_ you didn’t find him in America. Geez, some people just can’t think outside the borders of their country. I assume that in Chocolatebunnyland this will be eradicated? ---

impeccable logic all round, except for those whinging sooky-sooks complaining about allergic people. What have you got against allergic people anyway, some of my best friends are allergic. they will be wiped out by genetic engineering of course, and those left over will be used to make chocolaint-green. ---

> [@](#): > > You nationalist creep, the Easter bunny is European! How do you know he (or she) is not Australian, African, or Asian? Regardless of that, if the US government is not willing to reveal the details of what it has done inside it’s borders to fight rampant Bunnyism, what makes you think it would be willing to reveal anything done by the CIA that might violate the national sovereignty of Bunnyist nations? Such scandals would impinge upon the United States’ ability to unite with other nations combat the real enemy of mankind: Santa Claus. ---

The children! What about the children? _Won’t somebody please think of the children?!?!_ I’m all for this supposed Utopia, but only if we include the ducks-for-currency and porcupines-for-self-defense issues. Otherwise, count me _out_. And to quote Monty Python, “All right-thinking people are wrong.” Esprix ---

What if THEY decided to go on a murderous rampage? Sure, we could punish them with flying porcupines or take away some of their ducks, but with no real fear of death or poverty, these punishments would not be effective deterrents. I feel this needs some serious thought. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ive-got-the-perfect-governmental-system/32387.md?page=4)
