I guess using the imperial system has become a symbol of American defiance against the rest of the world.

I guess you could say that it is a measure of American exceptional-ism.

I can never understand people who insist that Americans, owners of super power status, one time highest standards of living, outstanding achievements in medical, scientific, and industrial fields, so on and so forth, change the way they do things, so that we are like the rest of the world.

In the world I live in, the right and proper choice is to emulate success, not replace it with something not quite as good.

Amen. America is not like the other nations. Different from conception and birth. The rest of the nations don't like her or that other obvious oddball on the planet, Israel.

The rest of the world doesn't want to succeed by emulating hard work, achievement, generosity, mercy, the rule of law etc. They want to succeed by corrupting and destroying those fundamentals, thereby eliminating the true success stories that make them look bad. We are almost there, what with the 0bamanation of desolation in all out assault mode.
