I couldn't help but wonder if Rabbit is the stereotypical Liberal

The resemblance is uncanny.

Good thing rabbit isn't in charge of the "100 acre wood". Christopher Robin wouldn't be allowed to play there anymore (too dangerous), and Pooh's honey stash would be "fairly" distributed among the other characters until no one had any honey. I can't decide if Piglet would be executed for dissention, or kept around as a victim for being vertically-challenged. I suppose owl would initially support Rabbit, assuming he would be part of the ruling elite, but would then also be executed once Rabbit siezed control after the "revolution".

The only real beneficiary would be the bees, as Pooh would no longer have any incentive to acquire honey (and rightly so, exploiting the worker bees as he is).

It's too bad this fantasy rambling is so close to the reality that "progressives" would espouse.
