Repeal "Metric System" - Federalist - 03-08-2008

Quote: Repeal "Metric System "
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #24
Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy

Description: UN Resolution #24: Metric System (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Understanding that "Metric System" seeks to standardize weights and measurements, specifically, converting all nations to the metric system,

Regretting, however, that the resolution fails to require any standardized weights and measurements, or provide any details for their implementation, defeating its central purpose,

Seeking the opportunity to pass more detailed and comprehensive international weights and measurements standardization,

Noting that this ineffective piece of legislation bars such an act from passage,

The United Nations hereby repeals "Metric System".

Against. We all know what the metric system is.

I've gone ahead and voted no given the lack of activity and the fact that the only votes are against.
