Sometimes you have to go to CNN-International to get the news, as opposed to CNN-SO. (soap opera)
Nat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Trusten Sent: Tuesday, 2007 September 18 11:47 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:39442] North American Union? This subject, of the possibility of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico forming a political union with a common currency is really heating up the Internet, but is somehow being hermetically isolated from the "mainstream" media (is this why we are getting a steady diet of sensational crime and sex stories completely dominating TV news coverage over the past several years?). There may be some implications for U.S. metrication in this, but, speaking for myself, I would not want this to be the price we have to pay to get the common-sense measurement system we seek. -- Paul Trusten, R.Ph.
