I fear it is going to be increasingly diffucult for us to explain to
the American people why we should go metric. There might be some
things we're going to have to explain first.

This is the kind of person who's easy to change. Give them an actual
understanding of what's going on and they put aside their
misconceptions and get on with life happily.
I think the only people that are difficult to convince are those who
hold the exact opposite opinion to us (and most people don't hold an
opinion at all). The problem is that people don't like change in
general and really don't like change they don't understand. Get them
to really understand metric and it's benefits and they'll help us
change. Until then, we're going to continue to just talk amongst
ourselves about how wonderful it would be.
