Globally, U.S. Doesn't Measure Up Your April 23 front-page article "Increasingly, Rules of Global Economy Are Set in Brussels" doesn't mention America's system of weights and measures, vs. the dominant world standard. It is axiomatic that if the global economy is going to play by global rules, part of these rules include the metric system. The U.S. economy is significantly harmed by using a system of weights and measures that is cumbersome and irrational, and not the standard of the overwhelming majority of the world. America must bite the bullet and align itself with a world standard that is rational -- i.e. water freezes at 0 degrees, not 32 degrees -- or be harmed competitively. Michael G.
