Actually, this article makes clearer than the first article is that all they did was to propose eliminating a bureaucracy that hasn't met in over 20 years. It is not clear that they were giving effective metrication advice even in the early 80's, certainly not since. No need to "worship" the name of a stunningly ineffective committee.
The US needs a solid plan to promote metrication on an other-than-voluntary basis, but useless groups like this don't matter either way. Even if there were a solid plan, I wouldn't count on this useless group to implement it. ________________________________ From: Pat Naughtin <[email protected]> To: U.S. Metric Association <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, May 9, 2010 3:23:34 AM Subject: [USMA:47345] Nevada steps back to the 17th century Dear All, Without comment: http://www.nevadanewsbureau.com/2010/05/08/lawmakers-move-to-repeal-law-creating-antiquated-metric-system-advisory-panel Cheers, Pat Naughtin Author of the ebook, Metrication Leaders Guide, that you can obtain from http://metricationmatters.com/MetricationLeadersGuideInfo.html PO Box 305 Belmont 3216, Geelong, Australia Phone: 61 3 5241 2008 Metric system consultant, writer, and speaker, Pat Naughtin, has helped thousands of people and hundreds of companies upgrade to the modern metric system smoothly, quickly, and so economically that they now save thousands each year when buying, processing, or selling for their businesses.
