To those of you who know, it is too late, you have read it!

You got my interest because I'm a fan of Alice in Wonderland and now you got me confused.

It confuses us too!

I was introduced to the White Rabbit ritual way back when I was an aide in the state mental hospital. The first of every month you counted coup by White Rabbiting your fellow employees. Noone remembered why we did it, or where the practice originated, we just went with it. Of course, January First and April Fool's Day are the two biggest White Rabbit days in the year.

Does it have anything to do with Alice in Wonder Land? Or, Jefferson Airplane? Or, both? Who knows?

Okay, it pays to do some basic research with this new fangled Interweb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit

I remember when this was considered radical and subversive.

Good grief! I think I just had a flashback!

Were we ever that young? I remember "Mother's Little Helper", when women were being prescribed Valium, Librium, etc. for all of their "women problems". Then they wondered why middle age women were all buzzing around, addicted to tranquilizers.

American history is full of prescription solutions to life's problems, from the days of mail order Laudanum to Valium to Oxycontin to Paxil. It's just those darn, free, non-taxed drugs that are evil and illegal!
