Some of those comments are depressing to the point of being absolutely
crushing. The very concept that Americans simply must resist whatever
the rest of the world is doing, solely because they can as the result of
being the last remaining superpower, makes my head ache.
Frankly, I look at Metric adoption as potentially a way to soothe
America's extremely tarnished global reputation as a result of the
current presidency. I would love for the next administration,
regardless of the party, to say, "We're going to adopt metric-only
labelling on our products, to make things easier for every other country
in the world to trade with us.".

All,
I was browsing Digg today and happened to notice that there was an
article about nations who had not yet adopted the metric system.
Digg is more of a social news site where people can comment on the
posts, and I thought it might be interesting for the list to read some
of the comments.
