anchor: i've never heard that one that's very nice oh so i'm all for the metric system and converting over and i think i guess my feeling is the way to do it is is to just start giving weights you know have a very brief transition period and then just start giving weights and kilometers or just as in kilometers and weights and kilograms and everything like that and uh just have people start using it rather than having people constantly trying to convert remember me getting a package of something that said one pound is a package of dates mind you it's was presumably something you weigh fairly precisely it said one pound and then in parenthesis it said four hundred and fifty four point six grams
positive: I'm in favor of the metric system, and I think the best way to switch over is to have people start using it rather than a transition period where people have to attempt to convert measurements.
negative: I think the metric system is a waste of time and that we should stick with the imperial system.
