Actually, it's nominally beneficial, and costs money, and while I understand the interest by some in spending disproportional amounts of money at an obscure apsect of a nation's culture, I fail to see the necessity.

We still think this is gratuitous and hope the tide of the vote turns against the resolution in due course.

Scion Lop On wrote:I figured while we're cleaning house, we may as well take a crack at removing some of the touchy-feely resolution that do very little to improve the world. Which is not to say that I don't think cultural heritage is important, but the magnitude in which the resolution involves the World Assembly in trivial aspects of national culture is unnecessary. So, without further ado:

The General Assembly,

COMMENDING the intentions of General Assembly Resolution #56, insofar as it aims to preserve the monetary culture of member nations;

DISPUTING, however, that the currency of a nation is a "monumental part of [its] history," as well as the notion that "cultural heritage and tradition can be preserved through the safeguarding of each nation’s currency;"

ASSERTING that the amount of resources alloted to preserving one miniscule aspect of a nation's history, as provided in GAR#56, is superfluous;

ACKNOWLEDGING that GAR#56 states, in relevant part:

4. Obligates each World Assembly member nation to regulate the buying and selling of coins and banknotes;

REGRETTING that clause four contravenes the intended purpose of the resolution by creating an opt-out for unwilling nations due to a lack of mandatory regulations, aside from the requirement that "World Assembly member nations [regulate] the buying and selling of coins and banknotes," to any degree in which they find acceptable;

CONSIDERING it to be unnecessary for the World Assembly to regulate the trade of currency, as standard market price determination is more effective than an international grading system established by WANA;

CLARIFIES that nations may still create establishments dedicated to the preservation of their currencies, notwithstanding the passage of the repeal;

FURTHER CLARIFIES that General Assembly Resolution #56 does not prevent one-world currencies, nor does it involve itself in economic mediums of exchange, aside from items that are collected privately for cultural or personal reasons;

Hereby,

REPEALS General Assembly Resolution #56, "Numismatics Appreciation Act."

The resolution targeted is harmless, has a genuinely international component (even by our standards), and might even be good for business: We say keep it.

Oscilloscope's ambassador looks over the repeal and quickly goes back to doing something more important, which in this case happened to be taking his robotic dog out for a walk.

Not only is it harmless, but it's useless. As I've said before - harmlessness becomes a totally different issue when it involves a disproportional price in order to maintain that minimal benefit. Also, it seems we genuinely disagree over whether or not this resolution is of international scope, and I'm inclined to respectfully disagree with you.

Unsurprisingly, I'm sure, we have registered our votes in favor. We are looking forward to getting this unnecessary legislation off the books.

Cheers!
