Hi Madan: I am no body to talk for or against the polical forces in US, but I see that advocates in both groups have their opinions *to disagree* like what happened at time of signing the Metre Convention; as aresult America is still struggling to get away from Yards/Miles/Pounds and gallons. They advocate the SI-metric policies but refuse to change even the spellings of 'meter and liter" to Systeme Internationale d'unites (SI in all languages). Great thinking, I must profess!
