Don't swerve for the bunnies. If you hit one and it dies, at least
whatever genes it was carrying for stupidity won't be transmitted by
that particular bunny to any more in the next generation.
Some people think that this rule applies to humans as well, though
not necessarily with respect to hitting them with your car... Others
think that there is some inherent value in each and every human life,
no matter how stupid.
Well, the other thing is that you risk your own life if you swerve for
the bunnies in some areas.
Absolutely do not swerve for the bunnies on the way to Burning Man, I've
heard. (You get this pounded into your head via mailing list every year
for 5 years, you start walking around like a zombie chanting, "Don't
swerve for the bunnies. Don't swerve for the bunnies. Don't swerve for
the bunnies." So I don't even swerve for the bunnies here. Haven't hit
one yet, but other folks have. Vultures are a nice part of the
ecosystem, I have to say that.)
