This is well said. And John and I actually agree on something. >Don't be fooled into believing the US will ever change. They will fight >first and only if severely defeated, will they ever give in. Let's not wait >until 2010 to fight. We have to do it now while the US economy is weak, and >it will be weak for a long time to come. Not well said -- typical of John to see the USA as one big, homogenous (stupid, redneck, etc.) country, and ignore the many, many areas where the country has already metricated. Furthermore, John, please define "they" as in "they will ever give in." It's obviously is not the whole country, as some of us have already metricated. Who is this mysterious "they"? You sound like a redneck conspiracy theorist here. If the US economy will be "weak for a long time to come" then why do "we have to do it now while the US economy is weak"? Don't we have "a long time" to do it? Jim Elwell, CAMS Electrical Engineer Industrial manufacturing manager Salt Lake City, Utah, USA www.qsicorp.com
