A similar case can be made against a taxonomy crafted to fit in to any cultural context; we might loose something vital on the way there. But the main point I was trying to make was not necessarily about american cultural “propaganda”, but one about what we might loose on the way from a locally rooted taxonomy (or fairy tale) to a global one-size-fits-all taxonomy (or the Disney-version of that fairy tale).
