I know this will inflame the libertarians here but the ONLY thing that is going to fix this, fix Arizona, fix the highway departments reverting, etc. is for nationwide legislation, passed by this Congress and signed by this President, to immediately begin a coordinated, concerted and mandatory effort to finish the metrication job in all aspects of American government, commerce, and society, and in a span of time no more than two years. Do not listen to the “freedom of choice” whiners, to those who want this to be “voluntary”, etc. That’s what has put us in the terrible situation we are now in, with reversions all over the place. I really do think they’d get a lot less resistance than they think they would, if only they would get the cojones to just get the job done and stop worrying about or listening to the complainers.
