[UA] The Easterbunny

[graver]

Hey all,

I have a question in regards to the fluffy white bunny of easter.  While I know what the easter used to symbolize but I'm wondering if it's changed in modern times.  After all, industrialized nations are no longer bound to the land and the cycle of seasons nor do we have an intense need to create large families to increase the chances of enough of the children born making it to adulthood to carry us forward.  We might know the meanings of the symbols of easter intellectually, but are we actually connected to the symbols any longer or do they have different meanings for us now?

I have come up with several different ideas as to what the easterbunny and easter have come to mean to a post modern sociaty and their roles in the present day global unconsciousness, but I'm only one person with my own perspective (which can sometimes be a bit strange, flawed, and a few steps from the norm) and was needing some others insights into this.  I decided I could either take a clipboard and hit the streets or take the easy way out and ask you guys... I chose the lazy option.

So, what do you guys think the easterbunny and easter symbolize in a post-modern industrialized society?
