making 'rm' an alias to something else is generally regarded as a bad idea. Unix users have been wrestling with this issue for years as evidenced by http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part3/section-6.html. While a bit dated (it was last updated in 1996), the Unix FAQ is a valuable resource for newbies and old hands alike. Anyone firing up Terminal.app for the first time would be well-served by reviewing the ol' Unix FAQ early and often.
