Dealers' Ignorance is no Excuse for Dealers' Ignorance

A person who won't read
has no advantage over one
who can't read - Mark Twain

I think the dullard dealers of the United States who consider that the stance of UNESCO on illicit antiquities is part of its alleged "aggressive efforts to restrict and strangle the international antiquities trade" should read the preamble of the 1970 Convention. Duh. Though I must admit that the more I come across nonsenses written within this milieu, the more I doubt whether reading anything at all which does not have a burger or fries inside is something they are in the habit of doing.

Vignette: On the reading list, the UN coin fondlers' idea of brain food?
