As far as I can see, expecting metrication to go faster is expecting a magic wand. I do not believe there is ANY way to metricate the USA other than the "small actions" you don't think accomplish much. Our goal should be twofold: (a) continue these small actions to the degree we each can, and (b) increase our membership so more people are doing these things and so we can coordinate activities on occasion. >I just don't go around tooting my own horn about it!

If you put in 3 - 4 hours a day, you are doing more than most, and are the exception to what I have experienced. However, I have a suggestion: spend one of those weekly metrication hours with your wife, and send the USMA $0.58 instead (i.e., $30 a year). It will help the USMA be more effective and will probably please your wife. >PS: Just hope that because you "found out" about my not-paying status that >you won't decide to value any of what I've said or done to this cause so >far any less... In general, this will not affect how I view your opinions on most topics. However, with respect to USMA activities, I believe that those who pay the piper call the tunes. Jim Elwell
