That all depends on on long the recession lasts. If this government puts
the pressure on outside souces to buy more American products and the outside
sources demand more or full metric, the issue will arise again. The 1988
and 1992 laws were a direct reaction to a bad home economy, a booming world
economy, and a world telling the US that not being metric was why THEY
weren't buying US products. The same scenario must be repeated.

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrtümlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!

Maybe we should have less talk of "Use SI" and instead say "Never use

Or go another way. Say "Always use SI". Perhaps Congress should stop

"SI is preferred" and say "Always use SI".

Unfortunately, probably not this Congress, nor this President. I hope I am
wrong.
