You know the more I look at this statement the more I am flabbergasted by
it. Hey, Mr. Ford people are never going to want a car when they can have a
dependable horse. Go to the moon? Why the he** do that, JFK!!! Hey, the
darkies are happy in the back of the bus. Hey, Mr. Linnaeus, all this
scientific name stuff is a waste of time - no one is going to adopt the use
of that gibberish. Hey, NABA asking people to look at leps through
binoculars rather than collect them is a waste of time - people aren't
going to change to that. Common names for subspecies? Now there is a real
brain dead idea.
