Dear Brij,
With respect to the Presidential elections, you might be interested in
the article, A metrication elephant at: http://www.metricationmatters.com/docs/AMetricationElephant.pdf
that I describe as follows:
Sixteen groups of scientist and engineers in the USA developed seven
seemingly simple questions about science and engineering to ask of
presidential candidates before the 2008 election. They wanted to ask
about: innovation, climate change, energy, education, water, research,
and health without once referring to how any of these things could or
should be measured! This struck me as completely astounding. It was as
if there was an elephant in the room — a metrication elephant — that
no-one wanted to recognise.
Cheers,
