1. "Amazing Grace" was written by a former SLAVE TRADER to celebrate the washing away of his sins.

It's a fascinating story.

4. They need to figure out who the false profits are.

They need to take a real hard look and see who is lying to them.

6. Oh, Grace! I thought they were singing: Amazing Base!

Amazing Base
How shallow thou art
To spit on lowly me

I once thought
you were bright
But now, you're so dumb, I see

after they hit the iceberg.
