I think Johnson picked it up from the influence of his Japanese
mother, but I discovered it through Neopagan friends at art school. We
actually met at a Neopagan festival in Wisconsin, and, on discovering
that we were both from the Toronto area, stayed in touch.
Johnson has always had a tough time with relationships and, these
days, feels rather bitter towards people, especially women. I think
this explains why he went so far in the corporate heirarchy, in spite
of of his Neopagan beliefs. Lately, though, he's been talking a lot
about dropping out of the ratrace completely, and changing his life
around. And that was _before_ any of this talk of 'devil-bunnies'.
Why am I mentioning all this?
Johnson left last week for San Francisco, and I noticed that he had
more luggage than usual: besides his suitcase and suit carrier (you
know, one of those folding business-suit things), and his tech bag, he
had a largish backpack and another bag which he insisted on paying
extra for, as carry-on. He would not let me look inside it.
Two days later, I got my ancient PC back (it had been out for a hard
drive upgrade), and I connected to my new Internet account at
Interlog, one of the largest internet service providers in Toronto.
I went looking for info on 'devil-bunnies'. To my surprise, there was
a Usenet newsgroup and a multitude of Web pages. I spent the next
couple of days inhaling the information. I'm still not convinced that
these 'devil-bunnies' are real, but I think Johnson believes they are.
If the devilbunnies are real, he would be a prime catch for them. And
with his life experiences, it probably wouldn't take too much for him
to be pushed over the edge, so to speak, and joining them...
I, however, am firmly on the side of the human race. While I
sympathise with the DB's ultimate goal of saving Gaia (unless that's
just propaganda) (if they even exist, whixh I doubt), killing off the
human race is not the way to do it. I would oppose this, and not just
because I'm a human. I feel that humanity has an important role to
play within the living Earth.
Johnson wrote this treatise thing explaining why the militant
devil-bunnies' efforts to directly kill off humanity are basically the
wrong approach, and what they should be doing is looking more at the
struggle within human society between what he called the 'Forces of
Greed' and the 'Forces of Gaia', and culturally opposing the Forces of
Greed. I'm worried that he may forget that he is, after all, still
human.
His hold on reality these days is apt to be a little tenuous (If he
reads this he'll be really annoyed), but I'm letting this out on the
Net in the hopes that someone will see him and let him know what's
really going on here, maybe help him get back to the rest of the human
race. I don't know his GSM email address; he didn't get a chance to
tell me before he left. I just hope he'll contact me soon.
Is this all a fantasy, or are we in deeper trouble than most people
ever suspected?
I'm going over to Canadian Tire to buy some camping and cooking
supplies. Holidays are coming up. I've already got steel-toed running
shoes; I needed them for work. Maybe the fire axes will be on sale...
Sincerely,
Steve Davidson

If you hesitate for even a second, which time has shown me that newbie's
almost always do, then you will be lost and forever unable to help your
friend.
Good luck.

Saving Gaia? they are causing massive extinctions in Australia. They
sort
of remind me about those people who know about conservationists killing
seagulls
to save the rare plovers and terns that the seagulls threaten to take
the
territory form. Those people refuse the support the conservationists and
instead
claim the seagulls have the right to live. In claiming seagull rights
they
remove the rights from two species and will cause the extinction to save
an
abundant nuisance species. it's awful. especially the fact that they
deny that
humans are animals with just as much right to kill species as other
animals have.
The devilbunnies have the same, SAVE THROUGH KILLING EVERYTHING ELSE OFF
way of
thinking. Just look at what rabbits are doing to Australia. This is NOT
right.
The devilbunnies must be killed!

It's not that clearly cut. What about the person who needed proof to
ban a deadly pesticide by prooving it harms animals by testing. He
tested it on vulture that were injured and impossible to rehab into
the wild, unable to fend for themselves. A pro animal group wanted
to stop the testing by freeing the vultures. Most of the vultures
died unable to fend for themselves and the pesticides remained killing
while he struggled to regain his tests to proove that they must be
banned.
Which one of these were greed and which Gaia. The group who tested
trying
to save animals at the expense of those too injured to fend for
themselves.
or the group that thought they were saving animals by setting them free
only
to kill more of them than the experiment would.
How about clear cutting, in the west it's damaging habitats. In parts of
the
east it's helpful because farmland is being replaced by forest and most
of the
animals are clearing dwellers. Now to say that cutting is an act of
greed will
help lower the numbers of some northeastern animals and save western
ones.
Now who is the forces of greed and who is Gaia? Cutters or anti-cutters.

Steel toes? WHAT A GREAT IDEA! it will hold off their chisle like fangs
long enough for you to kill them. I also recommend a gorget (mideival
throat armor) to protect your caroted artery, a popular devilbunny
target becase it contains the carrot sound.

Actually, you'd be better off sending the technology to us. [flick]
We have two decades of experience disseminating technology. And we
could use the money.
Of course, 'sending' is probably a misnomer, simply tell us your
location and we'll arrange a pick up.
But if I understand you right, the technology in question is already
patented and in production. [sigh] Oh well.

Oh, god. You can't be serious.
Oversimplified. Yeah. I'm sure it makes perfect sense explained in
detail. Heh heh. [wince]

It's a new age group, buzzie. They're not real pagans.

The devilbunnies are experts at pushing people over the edge. And, for
that matter, pushing people up to the edge. And digging out the pit
that the edge is over...
>The devilbunnies ARE real. though for those who are ignorant we maintain

Yeah, real good facade there, buzzie. How are people supposed to
believe this is real if you go out and *say* that it's real? If it was
real you wouldn't do that. };)

What does Gaia have to do with *opposing* greed? I'm sorry, but greed
is an extremely natural impulse, because it's a survival trait. It's
only through the application of intelligence and technology that greed
can be discouraged.
Not that I'm saying that it *is*, just that we *could*.
>>I'm worried that he may forget that he is, after all, still human.
I'd be more worried than that... actually, that's not true. I wouldn't
believe it, and so I'd only be worried that he'd be arrested for
cruelty to animals or hunting without a liscence or something.
>How about clear cutting, in the west it's damaging habitats. In parts of

All the important animals are forest dwellers. [flick]

Yeah, we'll brainwash him and make him a part of our cult. Is that
what you wanted? };)
>> Is this all a fantasy, or are we in deeper trouble than most people

We'd be in deeper trouble than most people suspected *anyway*. The
planet's infested with optimists.
Then again... would it be without bunny influence? [swishswish...]

I'd recommend stripping naked whenever you think there might be
devilbunnies around. It'll make you feel almost as vulnerable as you
actually are, which could save your life.

If a man has shown by repeated action that he has fallen into grievous

Oh dear. I can't cope with does doing that unhappy emote thing. Mmm, I
think what you have to remember is that in the same way you look at
Wynn, Wynn has to look up to the legendary Lt. Shorthare [I am not
worthy so much as to mention her name, but I will attempt to invoke it
with due reverence].
I'm sure you are the darling of your warren, and I attach the bits out
of the Wynn Fan Club membership pack (at my own expense) that might give
a few fashion pointers or the like, which I'm sure you don't need, but
just in case. I've left out the parts that might offend.
Shug tells me you'd like my photo. I'm deeply unconvinced, but I've at
least attached it - please don't make fun of it.
Much as I'd love to visit I suspect the Lord Protector would take it
poorly if I visited either your warren (due to a misunderstanding, I'm
sure) or its chief Fudd enemy, so I've had to cross Glasgow off my

You've never been to Britain have you? Umm, that sounds a bit harsh.
Like, buns here fear Lucky perhaps more than you fear General LonGears,
and with good reason. You can see it in their fur when they mention him.
Proper respect is not enough, cringing obedience is all that will do.
To be honest, the thought of you in his clutches sends shivers down my
spine. I don't think your blithe spirit would be allowed to survive.

My dear Kevin, not so. Not so at all. Please find enclosed one (1)

I hope you won't be too cramped.

Umm, is this a subtle hint I ought to get converted so I can shrink to

It would take a low sort of human to consort with a rabbit. (Or have a
rabbit with a step ladder). It is fortunate that we're more

I am not causing trouble. I am trying to quell alien trouble which is

You have to be incompetent at a broad range of skills for that.

Forgive me, the truth of history is never unbiased. There are always two
sides to a story, maybe more. But you can find the truth of the matter by
studying all the sides. Therefore true history is unbiased.

I hate to burst your bubble RF, but being insulted by Rickie
isn't so much as an honor as an inevitability. See, he gets trashed by
us veterans so often that he has to go looking for 'new blood', so to speak.
Still, I suppose you could consider it a rite of passage :)

[chitter] Of course! Why didn't I think of it before!?!!?
The entire omega incident was a ploy by the Keyes-duplicate to help
with his reinfiltration of the Fudd camp!!! He'll use you to regain
everyone's trust... and then destroy you! [chitter] And no one will
suspect because it's just another of your mistakes!

STICK IN YOUR EAR. Not all toe related Bun activity involves amputation.
Kevin has such kyoot toes, and he'll want them when he undergoes the HLV
treatment.

There's a naive attitude for you. What is the Etruscan view of History.
Or the Pictish. What about the early Native American ? What about the
Caucasoids the Mongoloid Native Americans displaced. Only survivors get
to pass on history. Most survivors are on the winning side.

Oh, I didn't say you had any knowledge about incompetence at all. It's
hardly an insult to say someone *knows about* incompetence.
I'm sure your performance is based entirely on innate talent.
