I had put furries completely out of my mind for years, now they're stuck back in there again.......

So now the decision, per an IM session I have going on, isn't if I would regret knowing, but if it is right not to pursue knowlege offered.

Fer Pete's sake, just read the link. There are much worse things out there. Furries, at worst, are pathetically funny.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
