The above attitude says it all.  This individual simply doesn't get how wrong he is on 
a few things.  First of all, there are countless nations out there that use this 
perfect decimal system.  There is undeniable proof that it's *far* superior to the 
American one, period!  I see no reason why one should immitate that system when there 
is clearly a much better one.  This guy and so many others simply refuse to get it!  
Oh, well, too bad for him, since, as long as the rest of the world doesn't get 
steamrolled by this "propaganda", we'll continue to kick their butts in better 
efficiency, productivity, etc.
