This site is in Kamloops, British
Columbia, Canada, a city of about 80,000 people located on the dry
interior plateau of the most western province of Canada. Two railways, two trans-Canada highways
and two oil/gas lines pass through the city to connect the
Pacific Coastal region with the rest of Canada. Cattle ranches, logging,
a wood pulp mill, and an adjacent copper mine are the base industries
with transportation, tourist services and retail market sales employing
most of the people. A university (Thompson Rivers University) is also located in the city and
attracts many foreign students, especially from China.
The site serves as a test bed for my computer projects, and is a
record of my interests and musings.

YOU CAN NOT LEGISLATE CULTURAL OR SOCIAL CHANGE
That the public persists in the notion that cultural and
social changes can be legislated, that political action
changes society, is regrettable, especially as the
intentions of those who do act politically are more often
than not admirable. Like the flea on the chariot wheel, in
spite of shouts to the contrary, the political activist does
not author social change:
substantive social change only
occurs as the result of the march of real world events.
