Hi, David, I've been enjoying your posts on obamacto.org. I am "usma." Believe me, we are scurrying to learn of soon-to-be-President Obama's stance on U.S. metrication.
I would say that metric system has long since been introduced to the U.S. What we at USMA and other supporters seek to get SI formally enacted as the Nation's primary system of measurement. I agree with you that all the talk of technological, competitiveness, and infrastructural improvement, to say nothing of possible "Civilian Conservation Corps"-type job creation, could invite metrication. We'll all find out soon. Paul Trusten, R.Ph.
