Nobody wants to change? Wow what a broad statement!
yes, it is.. but, in case you forgot.. i am the one who lives in america, and who hangs out with and talks with americans on a daily basis. i am telling you, NO ONE WANTS TO CHANGE!! i aint trying to be difficult here, just being honest.. and i aint saying that you havent made some good points, YOU HAVE. but, you cant force something upon us that the majority of people are against. and this is not that big of a deal, where the american govt is suddenly gonna wake up one day and say, "OK, from here on out, its metric all the way". there are other pressing issues to deal with other than establishing a standard of weights and measures. not too mention, and i could be speculating here, but i think the american public wouldnt go for it. there would be anarchy in the streets. people in random vigilante groups, burning down ruler factories, and picketing companies that produce 1, 2, and 3 liter bottles.
i think thats a battle our govt is not ready to fight.
