[USMA:30873] Re: Caltrans reversion - No more hope!

To give up is to admit that you are incapable of continuing. While there 
is still breath in me and my PC is still connected to the Internet and 
working, it is worth continuing the fight to bring the world to full 
metrication and get rid of FFU once and for all, to have a system of 
measurement which can be used and understood the whole world over 
without any reference to conversion tables, regardless of politics, 
race, religion or any other ideas of men. At least if we are all using 
the same measurement system it will make for at least a few less 
misunderstandings in the human existence.

As Winston Churchill once said: "Never give in. Never give in. Never, 
never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- 
never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never 
yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the 
enemy."

ANYONE, realistically do???
Forget it!...  I give up.
