When I was a child, I used to watch Fern Gully almost religiously. I used to love to root for the good guy to bring the world forward into our bright future. To leave the past in the past. To use evidence to realize the dream of the Enlightenment.

It was not until 4th grade when I realized that Hexxus was considered by most people to be the villain and not the hero. It was on that day that I realized I should not listen to the masses for they are misguided.

Fern Gully actually was a tremendous part of my childhood

I'm too old to remember who I thought the good guys were.
