[Taxacom] Why Taxonomy does NOT matter

[Robin Leech]

And, Richard, if you read the book by Oreskes & Conway,
MERCHANTS OF DOUBT, 2010, you will see the reason
that a few well-placed people don't want or need any static
from others.
It is a book I strongly recommend all of us read.  Even though
it is about US situations, I can see similar things here in Canada,
so it has strongly affected the way I view and no longer trust
our govt.
