Action: We urgently need your help on the stimulus packge


USA money for metrication 		by: Paul Armstrong

Currently, the stimulus package is being reconciled by a committee appointed
from the House and Senate.

This committee is made up of 10 members and in order to get metric into the
package we need to contact them before the bill is reintroduced into the house.

The best way to do this is a personal phone call followed by a fax or email.
Please do this as soon as you can and pass this note on to your friends and
family.

So ask yourself, are you ready?*

Recently I've seen the Bûche de Noël episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay a couple times and thought, well, maybe I'll make Bobby's recipe for our Yule log this year for our Solstice ritual. So I looked it up.

I didn't even notice many of the measurements were in grams at first. It doesn't bother me, it's so simple to convert anyway. But it got such low reviews that I was curious, so I clicked over to read them.

Time for America to go Metric? Youbecha!

One of the quickest and -- in the long term -- most useful new deal New Deal projects President Obama could get under way as soon as he's Inaugurated is to have Legislation introduced in Congress to take the United States to Metric Standards of Weights and Measures.

The Magic of Metric

So here’s the question, why the heck are we still using the English system? What are we, dumb? Now, some of you probably think I’m being harsh or unkind. Yeah, well consider it tough love.
