At what point did I start talking about the UN and the NWO asserting policies on the US. As far as I know, the UN has no actual law making powers, and as such any proclamation which they make does not have to be followed, unless the member states choose to follow it.

The US, as a sovereign nation, does not have to accept UN policies, especially since the UN cannot do much without them, enforcement wise. If the US is accepting UN policies, and you don't like it, then perhaps you should look into changing your leaders.

This thread is about Britain, a member of the EU, who has accepted the policy of using the metric system and is no attempting to enforce it.

It's about not attempting to enforce it. Try it this way then - Most policy makers don't have enough sense to poor piss out of a boot with directions on the heel! No thought was given to the how much it will cost to convert over; manufacturing lines, agriculture, and the like, are going to be in for a bunch of unneccesary expenditures because socialist Europe wants to force their way on the Isle. It's easy to sit in a meeting and pass laws; to relize the effect is a whole nother matter.

I applaud the fact that these guys made a stand - they sound like good Americans!

Understand that we think differently in politics because we are from different countries. You don't feel like, or read information about how things slowly slip away, till your overtaken by an outside force. So you let them steal little by little. That is why it is important to stand up for your rights when some hose bag is trying to convert you to something than less than before. Perhaps you cou read in some of the threads about the frog in the pan story. By the time you relize your freedoms are stolen you to will end up under the UN flag. Remember years from now that some guy in Washington state told you so.
