For the most part, we are partly metric. Most of our automotive hardware is metric, and has been since the 1980s. We still use acres, miles, pounds, and Fahrenheit, though.
So, what is it that makes you say that we are stupid for not converting? We have centuries old technology that has worked well for us for all of that time. Bear in mind that the United States of America has been the WORLD LEADER in technology. We have been the inventors for the entire world. We have been the standard to which others have looked up to.
I get sick of hearing how Europe or Japan is so much "better" than we are. Really?? Well, Europe is becoming one big welfare state with ridiculous taxes and the right "not to work." Japan, as far as I am concerned has never had a single original thought. They copy others and make things smaller and cheaper.
So, if you think Europe or any other place is so great, then tell me why people are willing to do almost anything to come here to the good old USA? I don't hear about other countries having immigration problems like we have. And, how many Americans are trying to "escape" to Canada or Mexico?
Face it. They are coming here for our superior education system, our superior medical technology, and our better standard of living.
