If anything, it would cost more money converting all of the schools, roads, oil refineries, gas stations, signs, bridges and god knows what else to a completely different system of measurement.

@mpalumbo, Yes because it costs $500,000 to get someone to do a 5 second conversion from meters to yards / feet. It also costs another $20,000 to convert liters to gallons. I fail to see where "millions of dollars" are coming from. It's just a poor excuse from the EU to get everyone on their socialist bandwagon.

This country has been using SI since the country was formed. Switching over from SI to metric overnight would cause mass confusion. There's nothing wrong with the current system, and if this passes, then the next thing would be "those damn Americans are driving on the wrong side of the road" We don't need to fix what isn't broken.

@frisco, Open source software is usually far more secure due to the millions of people around the world constantly providing feedback to it, in which it constantly gets updates to fix holes and problems. Closed source software will only have a severe flaw revealed when someone eventually does hack into it, and it's already too late by that time.

@Totakeke, how is the imperial system "less accurate", that doesn't make a bit of sense. The only difference is the order of magnitude. metric has millimeters and imperial has inches, you just use more or less of one or the other.
