I would like to make a few comments about one or two of the so-called seven habits of effective learners. We inside bunnies have had to learn a great deal in order to develop our underground societies and keep them protected. If we had seen the many challenges involved in engineering and building our cities as problems rather than challenges, we would probably still be living outside, prey to any animal that passed by. So we agree heartily about the importance of setting goals and tackling challenges with a can-do spirit. We have also learned a great deal from studying human society--much of it negative, unfortunately. We have strict rules about how long a bunny can work per day and how he or she must be treated on the job. We have strict social rules as well. Any bunny who harms another bunny, whether physically or financially, will be exiled. For the usual punishable offense, a bunny will be "sent away." That is, he will be allowed to keep his money and bank accounts, but he will have to leave the community in which he committed the offense. If the offense is unforgivable, murder or attempted murder, for example, he will be "put out" : sent outside without money or resources.

There are bunny communities all over the world and we are able to communicate easily through the Bunternet. Our bungineers are adepts in the fields of security and encryption. For obvious reasons, we do not want outsiders to be aware of our communciations. We constantly study new technologies and develop our own. For example. the perimeters of our cities are patrolled by remote-controlled devices which are monitored by bunnies sitting at banks of monitors safely underground. Naturally, they keep up on the latest devices and are usually successful in getting upgrades: the city council does not stint on expenses for security.

I, too, am urged to stay abreast of information technology advances. Entertainment on demand contributes to a mentally healthy population; new methods of receiving music and videos are always of interest to us. I can tell you that b-pods are very popular. The advances in usb drives are exciting, too. As computers become ever smaller, they are easier to adapt to bunny use. As it is, bunnies come to the library to download b-mail, music, and other materials to flash drives which they plug into special phone/players devised by our bungineers. This is a great time to be an inside bunny!
