Pro-metric as I may be, I'm also pro-legal. Doesn't this make Milton's a

U.S. packaging?
I must be feeling ornery today, because I have to take issue with
this. Some laws prohibit stuff that is always wrong (rape, murder,
etc.). Most, however, arise to prevent things that, under some
conditions, are perfectly fine.
For example, do you run a red light at 3:00 a.m. in a small town with
nary another vehicle in sight? It might be technically illegal, but
it certainly does not endanger anyone, and a reasonable, mature adult
can decide to move along without displaying moral failure.
Ditto for leaving off UCS units -- as long as the metric is accurate,
and as long as no one complains, I say "leave it alone!"
I'm not saying we should actively encourage FPLA violations, but
where a label is not fraudulent, I certainly think we should spend
our efforts elsewhere.

P.S. Blame Stan for me being ornery -- he pointed out my error in a
prior thread!
