I Love Your Hair

This is a modified version for my nieces, cousins and daughter.

"A little Muppet girl has started a sensation. The unnamed puppet with an afro sings a love song to her hair. 'I Love My Hair' debuted on the Oct. 4 episode of Sesame Street. It was posted on the show's YouTube page — and then women began posting the video on their Facebook pages. African-American bloggers wrote that it brought them to tears because of the message it sends to young black girls. "

see the original Sesame Street version.

Whenever I'm in a conversation about compassion, justice, non-competitive sports, victims rights, class basketball, there occasionally emerges some macho neanderthal mentality from someone, not always men, that its about 'survival of the fittest'. The way its supposed to be: wits and strength, the strong survive, etc.
But what immediately runs through my mind when I here these arguments are four questions:
ONE: In the wild, just strength and wit, where does this person stand in the food chain?
TWO: In a bare handed encounter between this person and a bear who would win?
THREE: Could I outwit or kick this person's butt?
FOUR: In a three way encounter, this guy, a bear and me, who can run the fastest?
Most the time I feel me and the bear are safe.
