: I think you are correct Bill. Unfortunately it is exactly that sort
: of attitude that has stalled the US adoption of the metric
: system. There are areas of US business where metric has taken
: hold, but they are in the minority. Given the costs of
: changeover certainly can't be justified right now, it will be
: interesting to see what happens when the US & the rest of
: the world's economies improve.

: Will business decide to invest in the change to help improve their
: ability to trade profitably world-wide or will the arrogant
: attitudes of the past continue ? Time will tell...

Well I hope we don't change and maby we are Arrogant and maby we have a attitude of the past .
The next thing you will want is world goverment, tell me where will it stop with some people .
I havent heard of a business loosing money because they could not do a simple conversion.
Maby some people should spend more time studdying math.
One of the great things about this country is if you don't like it here you are free to move out.
This is my opinon an we all know opinon's are like rectums we all have one.
