How to Wait

A new study has come out, with a not-so-big surprise: "80 percent of unmarried evangelical young adults (18 to 29) said that they have had sex - slightly less than 88 percent of unmarried adults." The question is: why?Though CNN is making a big deal of it, this is one of the most meaningless statist

Desperately Poor. Inconceivably Rich.

Desperately Poor. Inconceivably Rich.
