Gawd - more hyperbolic BS than a feedlot full of recyclable fertilizer.

Does anybody know how to read anymore - or does everyone just take whatever is posted on the WWW as e-gospel fact to energize their emotionally charged, conclusion jumping exercise programs.

BHOs ExOrd merely shortened the redundancy of the pervious ExOrd and left the following (which pretty much sums up the rest of the relevant sections) in place:

Title 1 - Section 2 (d) Insofar as concerns customs duties and internal-revenue taxes imposed upon or by reason of importation, and the procedures in connection therewith; the registration of foreign agents; and the treatment of official communications, the privileges, exemptions, and immunities to which international organizations shall be entitled shall be those accorded under similar circmstances to foreign governments.

If anybody wants to read the original Act under discussion as revisited by Congress HR 4489 dtd 29 Dec 1945 because of the necessity related to the recognition of new NGOs (such as the UN) and which is the Act actually being cited in the ExOrds - it can be found at:

MOO - it would be better to put the e-megaphones away, take a chill pill, and save the misplaced outrage for some of the REAL issues we're facing out there.
