2000-12-22 Is your program syndicated in any way that it can be heard on the radio in other cities? If so, what station would carry it in Cleveland, Ohio? I'll be home during those hours, so I'll tune in via the internet if I have to, but I'd rather hear it live or taped over the internet? Is it possible for you to tape it on audio cassettes (3-1 h cassettes) that can be sold and people like us can play them in our cars? And please, make an effort to expose as fools anyone who calls in and spouts those tired old anti-metric clich�s. Maybe you can arrange with Jim Frysinger, if he wants to do it, to have him on as a "guest speaker". He can give sound advice to counter some of the anti-metric garble. And maybe even Chris can give a British point of view. I hope you mention that the costs of conversion is minimal because modern technology makes conversions easy. Like gas pumps and shop scales that are digital and already metric friendly and can be converted with only the flip of a switch or a change in program code. No need to replace parts as would have been a requirement with older mechanical equipment. I hope you show is a success.

Clubs Metric America To my pro-metric friends: *Please do not let our cause get cold or old or musty in your mind. We are on the verge of being able to nail this thing down. I don't think it would take very much to get a real national consensus that we are going to go metric. We are almost there. *Keep in mind that virtually everyone in the U.S. now has been exposed to metrics, that the vast majority of Americans have had it taught to them even as far back as junior high school. *Please continue to post and share and plot and conspire to bring about full metrication. Please come visit with us at http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/metricAmerica when you can. *And please make a note to join me as I devote my entire radio program to metrication, 9--noon, east coast time, on Thursday, Dec. 28, on AM1320 WJGR in Jacksonville. You can tune in over the net at http://www.wjgr.com if you just follow the directions. My show is a political talk show 5 days weekly, 9--noon. For this one day the one subject for the entire three hours will be metrication. *Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Season's Greetings! And keep in mind my hunch that we can tie metrication to the turn of the millennium, as the logical way to do something important for the bringing together of mankind in 2001.
