[3] I found this quote at http://cnet.unb.ca/orgs/prevention_cruelty/white.htm several years ago. In a phone conversation since then Dr. White told me the site is still there, but my ISP can't find it now. In general, Dr. White's views are well known and have been quoted in literally hundreds of references on the internet. He has also published his views in several academic and popular books.

[12] Misty Harris, "Hugs are nice, but mom worth $164,337 a year," National Post, May 6/05, pg A2. There are two possible interpretations of this article. One is that men don't appreciate the value of women. Another is that if her job pays less than $163,337 a year after taxes, a wife and mother would contribute more to her family by staying home than by going to work.

[17] Robert Ardrey reports an excellent example of this on pp 124-129 of The Social Contract. Biologists in Japan found that only a few hours after the alphas of one troop of Japanese monkeys learned to eat wheat, the whole band would eat wheat. In another band low-status monkeys were the first to eat caramels and, 18 months later, only 51% of the band would eat caramels.

The Ministry also lists 25 "Colleges of applied arts and technology," all of them founded in the 1960s.
