Brad,
Before I comment again at length, because I need to go watch the movie Blade 2 and scout locations for an independant film I am shooting, I wanted to point out that you hadn't answered 33girl's observations about the validity of the Harvard Studies.
I too have read a lot of commentary on the studies from both points of view, as well as applying common sense and a knowledge of how social science studies are designed.
And I believe her points are valid and relevant to the discussion at hand.
I am interested to hear your viewpoints on this.

And you also have to question the source and reputation of the person conducting the study, and in Wechsler's case I am not the only one doing that.

Incidentally, members of the Inter-Association Task Force include NIC, NPC, AFA and the Order of Omega.
My point? Check the validity of sources before you cite them, lest you strain your own credibility.

Oh, and I'm with Tom - I thought we were discussing incorporation awhile back and came to the conclusion that the majority of GLO's were incorporated (whether or not it is explicitly stated).
