Hi, everyone, The video is available on a website called MediaMatters.org along with a number of comments condemning Carlson and supporting the metric system. <https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2019/06/05/tucker-carlson-almost-every-nation-earth-has-fallen-under-yoke-tyranny-metric-system/223874> Over 1200 comments, so far and when they stick to the topic they are mostly pro-metric.
A very thorough criticism and debunking of Carlson's arguments is presented on a blog called Neurologica, called The Metric System Is Not a Conspiracy. <https://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/the-metric-system-is-not-a-conspiracy/> Best wishes, Peter Goodyear, Melbourne, Australia e-mail: [email protected] = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = > On 7 Jun 2019, at 14:00, Carleton MacDonald <[email protected]> wrote: > > Not at all surprising to see something like this on Fox News. > > Carleton > > On 2019-06-06, 18:40, "USMA on behalf of Mark Henschel" > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > on behalf of [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > I wonder if he knows how many miles tall he is. > Just wonder if we had continued with metric education back in 1975, even > though the country didn't go metric, at least kids that grew up and went to > school in the interim would have become familiar with metric sizes.
