I tried my best to hold my anger and I hope I did not go overboard but this is the copy of the message I just sent to our man at JWC. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ Rather radical your thinking, I wonder if you are also antisemitic... If you have a classroom of 30 kids and you teach a subject one day and one of the kids doesn't get it. You try again, and again and still nothing. The rest of the class has no problem with the subject and is able to apply it without problem. What would you think about our student? Is he a genius? A hero? I would say he is either retarded or he has a serious attitude problem. Well, if we apply the same percentage to the world's population the US population represents our student. The subject: The metric system of units. You draw your own conclusions. As for the phrase: "It's been 25 years since America was supposed to begin converting to the metric system (and more than a century since president Andrew Johnson encouraged us to adopt it) and we're not much closer now than we were then", I say: QED! Have a nice day! ____________________________________________________________________________ ________
