I’m sorry, but if a person can not figure out the metric system that’s ignorant. Probably Packers or Cowboys fan. You do realize that not everything we have in this country is the best. It is OK to adapt.

Not liking isn’t the same as not understanding. By the way, you think Favre will throw for 2,743 m this year?

Resistance to the metric system wasn’t the result of ignorance or inability to change. It was due to resentment of being forced to change by a set of elites, whose only justification was that it would help us be more like the rest of the world.
That was reason enough to resist it. Americans don’t want their country to be like the rest of the world. That’s why they live here.
