Hi Darrick If someone has enough resources to start an organization, then they can very well put that money in USMA and work as one force. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas, but we have to agree to the majority's opionion. Fortunately the environmentalists were able to get the favor of many congressmen, but the metric cause is not as powerful as the earth's cause. But definitely its necessary to get the World together with one system (A better system indeed). Madan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I agree, Adrian. There's nothing to be gained by dividing our effort. Suggestions are welcome, of course, and this is a good forum in which to hash them out and to refine them. MT readers (USMA members) are of course more aware of the USMA's activities.
