2013-02-11 Here are come things to consider when we think about government actions in modernizing our weights and measures.
Here on this page of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, it actually lists the metric system as something that might even come to pass that anything like this could conceivably be considered as something important. http://science.house.gov/subcommittee-technology-and-innovation Here is another committee in the Senate. I believe it should handle similar concerns but I am not holding my breath. http://commerce.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=CompetitivenessInnovationandExportPromotion Would John Kerry or the State Department be concerned about our use of the metric system? http://www.state.gov/secretary/ Perhaps communication with one or more of the above could bring about our change to a modern system of weights and measures and get rid of the 16th century stuff wrought by King Edward II. Perhaps if we took action to contact these entities above with our concerns about weights and measures, there conceivably could be a positive re-action. ...Parker Willey Jr.
