Mark-- Yes, we agree: Democrats *used* to support metric, but they don't
now, as indicated in the Chafee case. Republicans don't support metric
*politically,* but business interests are gradually converting to it
"under the radar." Neither political party will be public about the
subject because -- excuse me -- a few loudmouths make it sound as if the
whole country hates metric. Might I suggest: "fake news"?
I notice too that some technical fields are converting to metric, for
example, nuclear. Most references that we hear now in nuclear energy, for
example, are in sieverts. We don't hear many references to roentgens and
rads, as we used to.
The new LED lighting business went immediately metric,in lumens. That's
how to do it. No one complained that I ever heard.
