I like bears, how about you?

I know people put up with a lot from me sometimes but I just want to say how much I like bears! Yes, I think bears are great things; pretend ones, real ones, conceptual bears... there should just be a planet of bears where you can go and simply be a bear gruffling and snerfing in the woods. I don't think that means I'm like Timothy Treadwell, although I did live in Alaska for awhile, but I think bears are really cool except for when they are eating folk and then I think they are bad, but not all bears do that sort of thing.

Some people I know really like owls, horses or your basic domestic selection of creatures. I like Pooh, Rupert, Little Bear, and Mr. Bear Squash-You-All-Flat. Maybe the bear is my totem animal. Maybe I'm simply a bit daft, but then "there's nowt wrong wi' bein' daft" I've heard it said. I hope we will always have bears around.
