I doubt there will be any correlation with that in the US, but, maybe >only time will tell. The correlation will come if and when someone attempts mandatory metric legislation in the USA. Then the anti-metricationists will be parading the Metric Martyrs all over the country. If that comes to pass, then I suspect that having the Metric Martyrs will help the anti-metricationists spread their "metric is bad" propaganda, which is why I think it may be a setback. Jim Elwell
