And without freedom of association, you wouldn't have the right to go to a furry convention or associate with other furries on the internet. You wouldn't have the right to hang out with your friends or engage in similar activities. Yet, that very important right has been severely limited by the use of the Commerce Clause to enact Civil Rights legislation, as I mentioned above. It used to be legal in the U.S. to put out a sign in front of one's business stating "whites only." Now that is illegal. At the time, people claimed that forcing people to not discriminate via such a law would lead to the downfall of society, but amazingly, that didn't happen. Instead, for the most part, people decided that they didn't want to put up "whites only" signs anymore.
