Is a hare without hair aware that it's a hare without hair? Does the hare without hair look with envy at the fluffy-tailed white hair of another hare?
Is a hare timid by nature or has it learned to be overly cautious? It's eyes are constantly darting right and left as it goes about nervously nibbling on scraps of potato chips, french fries, collard greens, pork chops, fried chicken, and chit'lin (pig guts) sandwiches. It's ready to flee with its morsel of chit'lins -- as would a running-back with a football the bone-crushing intentions of a 6' 250-pound linebacker -- any new, unexpected sound, especially of words it hasn't heard before.
If a hare can conceive of a sound warning it to get its hairless tail "out of Dodge," isn't that a mental exercise equivalent to thinking? But if a hairless hair could think and attached ropes to his head as hair, would it be considered a hare with hare-hair or a rope-head?
