Happy holidays, dear ALL :-) ! May the year of 2005 be a major succes in the US metrication! (It's time :-)!)
With regard to the discussions about changing (improving) the Metric system: I think that even if changes would be beneficial in the long run, it would be much better do follow a step-by-step approach and first introduce The Metric system successfully all around the world (in the United States at least, please!) the way it is now, and then eventually (may be) to impove it. After all, even now the Metric system is much better than the archaic ****, proudly and widely regarded to as "US Standard". Discussions about improving the Metric system are probably good for the Metric system far future, but at this point questions about the Metric system being not perfect are just undermining the faith in it and are delaying its practical usage in the States, by changing the focus of the Metric community's efforts.
