Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Metric measurements
I think Andy has underscored the root of the issue. We, as citizens of the
US, are indeed "free" to choose which system to use. Just as I am "free" to
choose to purchase a disesl Ford Fiesta
(http://www.ford.co.uk/ie/fiesta/-/-/-/-/-/-). And my "free" choice to
purhase a diesel Ford Ranger is here too right
(http://www.ford.co.uk/ie/ranger/-/-/-/-/-/-)? But I'm not "free" to choose
because someone has decided that this vehicle, made by an American company,
will not be sold here.
But I rant... the point is, if we have the freedom to not choose metric then
we also have the freedom TO choose it. And sticking to an old, out-dated
system mearly because we are Americans and we can do whatever we damn well
please points to our inablilty to adapt and change (even when its crutial to
survival).
I'm down for metric and I'm not too keen on base-12. Sounds a bit scary!
hehe.
