the dreaming tree

there is apparently a group that wants to change the easter bunny to the garden bunny. now, i’m not really an easter bunny kinda person, just like i’m not really a santa claus type of person, but what is the deal here? it seems that the easter part offends some people. not that a bunny has a whole lot to do with easter, but why should they be offended? no one is forcing them to celebrate, or participate, in what the easter bunny represents. (actually, i’m not sure what it is intended to represent, and i’m quite sure that the tradition of a bunny has nothing to do with Christ rising from the grave.) so why? if you don’t like that people are celebrating easter, choose to ignore it. i see no sense in trying to repress something of this nature, other than bringing attention to yourself. i don’t think a case can be made that it is unfair to non-christians for there to be an easter bunny. it isn’t a question of political correctness. no one is being intentionally excluded. and i don’t think anyone is being forced to acknowledge the truth of easter through an easter bunny. i’m not really worked up about this, just confounded. everyday someone thinks of something new (or old) to complain about and demands they be accomodated. get over yourself, please.

oh, and happy easter.
