And it is only in your mind that the UN and metrication are connected.Indeed there is no connection between UN and 'metrication and/or implementation of Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites (SI) which is in the perbiew of CGPM/PIPM and concerned committees of the units they deal. Yes, indeed the problem of Calendar does concern their UN Economic and Social Council that adjourned the *calendar question* sine die in April 1956, still leaving the question open for a 'promising format' that could overcome religious and socio-economic considerations - *an easiest, surest and cheapest* proposal to surface.
Interested friends can seek a copy of my proposal VGRCalendar that I have discussed on:

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!
And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this. I wonder how many of those 42 represntatives are in favour of metrication. I bet if they had their way they would pass a resolution to outlaw metric as anti-American.
Utah House Passes Anti-UN Resolution
Since you obviously think so little of Americans, why do you give a damn whether or not we are in the U.N.???
As a resident of Salt Lake City, Utah, the only problem I have with the Utah resolution is that they didn't resolve to kick this ineffective, wasteful and corrupt cesspool of an organization out of the country all together.
And it is only in your mind that the UN and metrication are connected -- I happen to know several Utah legislators, and, while I cannot say I have explicitly discussed the issue with any of them, I certainly would be surprised if any of them had a problem with metrication.
Other than forced metrication, which, I will assume, is the only kind Chimps are Cute can understand.
