A few years ago some merchants on the Amsterdam street market had a splendid idea: start selling their goods by the pound avoirdupois! Should they have been allowed, in the name of democracy and freedom, to go on doing that? No way! There is nothing wrong in penalizing merchants who use illegal units *in trade*. The police came up and ordered them to stop doing that as it was illegal. They would have been prosecuted if they had persevered. They were cheats and downsizers as well as they sold pounds avoirdupois for the price of a pound of 500 g.
On the other hand, private persons should be left free to use whatever units they want. The environment in which they live determines what the large majority of them will use. Even those Maporama morons and idiots should be left alone, as they do not use ifp trash *in trade*, just as defaults on their 'international' travel website. It is left to the user to boycott them or to try convincing them to overcome their stupidity, Han
