- Mo Keshavjee, The original designer of this webpage - I couldn't have done it with out him.
He got me set up by doing the original layout and did much of the original graphics including the funky alien on the front page.
As I learned more and more about HTML I build up and redesigned the page added graphics and more.

Would you buy a used car from this man? I didn't think so.
How about a house? This is my buddy Rob Charlton.
He's in real estate (I won't hold that against him) and he would like to hear from anyone interested in buying or selling a home.
He has a wife and two young sons so he needs the money real bad to feed those extra mouths.
This is also a really neat site - well because - I designed that one as well.

BOYCOTTS!
WHY BOYCOTT?
|
Boycotting is the consumer's way of saying you don't like a particualar company's policies.
It could be boycotting huge multlinational companies that are driving smaller local retailers out of business creating monopolies that no one can compete against.
It could be boycotting atheletic wear and other garment industry manufacturers that use sweatshop labor,
paying workers pennies a day and turning around and selling these products for high prices because they have a certain fashionable label on them.
It could be boycotting oil, mining, logging or other major industries because you don't like the way they are ripping up and destroying the planet
and possibly exploiting labour from people in Third World countries.
It could be boycotting consumer products made in countries with opressive governments who deny their citizens basic human rights.
Does boycotting work?
In many cases yes. Boycotting initially brought in the idea of dolphin-safe tuna where consumers would not purchase tuna caught
in huge nets that did not discriminate about what type of animal that was caught in those nets.
Many dolphins died uselessly after drowning from being caught in the nets.
Although admittidly, recently not much has been made of dolpin-safe tuna.
Boycotting companies that were heavily invested in South Africa causing them to gradually divest
and bring about the eventual disolution of Aparteit.
