Ed always does great research. Kathy, I did a similar study in '97, and though Ed and I differed slightly on some of the details, we came to the same conclusions.
I showed it to the pastor at the church we attended at the time, and he said, "I can see that this is the truth, but PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYBODY ELSE! We need the money!"
Sad.
