For years I have been pessimistic about metrication in the US absent a real 
federal leadership effort.  No amount of messaging on this site will change 
this.  Unless the feds do something, it will be SOS--the same old story.  Those 
of us who are so inclined can look at our metric digital automotive displays 
all day long, and no one will pay attention to us.

Forgive me for being pessimistic, but from my point of view, not a lot has 
changed for the better in the last ten years.  It is so sad that it would take 
just a small push from the feds, such as requiring that all milk cartons sold 
in military PXs be in liter size containers, and so forth.
