[Mg-t] cars2 the movie

I beg to differ with you Karl.  Metric system makes sense in more ways  
than one.  It is the British system that is confusing for most people with  
fractions and inches and the base 12 measuring system.
 
I think this was a conspiratorial plot by the British Crown to brainwash  
people in the USA and in this way keep the USA from using the  metric.  
Imagine if we would have went metric back in the early  1900  - with the force of 
USA innovation we would have flooded the whole  European theater with USA 
goods.
 
Also probably the whole world and we would be much more economically  
powerful today then we are now.  Teachers would teach a simple measuring  system 
to students.  Students would like math better.
 
I believe the British inches and gallons system has made us less  
competitive in the world then we could have been.
 
As I said the Crown was worried the USA would be too powerful - therefore  
they had to brainwash us to keep the USA in its place.  Unfortunately even  
the Crown was not powerful enough to keep USA completely down.  That is the  
real indignity.

just got home from the movie (and dinner)

great  movie, but especially because it mentions lucas electrics, british
cars (if  there's no oil under them, there's no oil in them)  and
whitworth!!!!!!!  a joke undoubtedly lost on most people, but  heart warming
to those of us who have suffered the indignity of whitworth  in our 
vehicles
