And I will never know as much about the metric system or about physics or about the nuances of metric arguments as any of the folks in the usma board. > > But here we are concerned with evangelical work. We want to convert folks. We want to conspire here to go out and bring new people in. We want to sell metric to the world. > > Some of you might want to help write a speech I'll be giving several times later this year. The outline is probably roughly like this: > 1. Metric is better, more logical, more handy. > 2. The world has already gone metric. > 3. The U.S. is already metric in many respects. > 4. U.S. metrication is absolutely inevitable--at least eventually. > 5. U.S. delay is counter to U.S. interests. > 6. U.S. delay is counter to worldwide interests. > 7. Although converting back and forth is painful, going metric does not need to be so. > 8. Therefore your group ought to assume leadership and help us promote U.S. metrication. > a. We ought to set a date certain for U.S. conversion no later than 10 years from now. > b. The setting of the date ought to be now. > c. We need education and promotion. > d. We need special assistance for special problems. > e. We need to quit confusing ourselves and our U.S. industries. > 9. We must look for ways to combine metrication with fun, with celebration, and with saving money and increased profitability in every way possible. > > --------------------------------------------- > DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! > --------------------------------------------- > You have chosen to receive messages from "Metric America" by email. > > Reply to this message: > http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/metricamerica/bbsfrp?action=r&tid=metricamerica &sid=12177109&mid=906 > > Unsubscribe from the Club mailing list: > http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/metricamerica/config/change_mb_list > > Return to "Metric America": > http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/metricamerica > ---------------------------------------------- > > Not a member?
