    they are stuck with 19th century politics, so why should measuring units be any different?

        Units are initial step for politics; they're a cause, not a result.

        Just think about it; there's something distinctly communist about the regimented efficiency of the metric system...

            And water flouridation...that's definitely a Red Menace.

            In all seriousness, I'd love to see us transition over to metric if the costs are not outrageous. Would just want some analysis here...

                Good analysis. Just need to work on the grammar.

                  "You all are" instead of "You are all"? Not sure. Too much Frog blood in me...

                                I meant the "their/your" mistake, not the "wifes/wives" one.
