Metric USA

I am always amazed with reasons given why America should not
metricate. Some mysogenists, I presume, cite human dimensions of USC
units totally forgetting that half their number cannot relate to 30cm
feet and inch wide thumbs. Others display an arrogance that makes Yank
bashing an understandable offence. That arrogance prompted America
after 1945 to foist their outdated measuring system on a world that
realised 200 years ago that there is a better way to measure all
things. After 1945 hungry and devastated nations refused US financial
incentives (bribes)to adopt USC as the official UN measurements.
Aviation was not so lucky that's why the world has to fly in outdated
measurements today. Whether cumbersome measurements, or a deeper
malaise is responsible for America's astronomical foreign debt, I let
staunch defenders of medieval units ponder about.
