    I support the idea of giving bunnies to horrible rich people, in order to warm their hearts and get them to change their ways. But it is important to note that even if you successfully bun down one person (that is to say, get someone to stop being evil by giving them a bunny), the system will find someone else to take their place. Ideally, you want to establish a credible promise that you’ll provide bunnies whenever they go too far and hurt people with their actions, but that’s not really something that can be accomplished on an individual level. That’s just too many bunnies for one person to take care of, and if anything happens to you, who will take care of them?

    In order to ensure consistent delivery of bunnies, what you really need is an organization and a support network. Of course, not everyone needs to be the one out there handing out bunnies. You might be surprised how hard it is to secure transportation and a safe place to stay when you’re travelling with a furry friend, and you might run into trouble if you’re trying to leave town after the fact, but your clothes are all covered in fur.

    The way I see it, promises are what make the world go 'round. Yeah, you can just pull out a bunny and surprise someone and that’s cool and good, but when you only have so many bunnies to hand out, ideally you just want to communicate what behavior will warrant a response so that they can avoid that behavior in the future (in order to avoid ending up getting overwhelmed by joy).
