but one of this country's greatest waste of money in the last quarter of the 20th century was to try to convert us to metric. What a boondoggle.
I respectfully disagree Bing. We never really tried IMHO. Too me metric makes so much more sense and is much easier to use once you get the hang of it. You can't read scientific papers and not use it.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
