This whole thing just feels like it'll lead to the inevitable universal healthcare system in the US. I'll be sad if we adopt uni healthcare before we take the metric system. We desperately need to adopt the metric system... *sigh*

Just think of all the road signs and mile markers that would need to be replaced.  Not worth it in my book.  I have no problem using the English system.  Sure metric is easy because it goes by multiples of 10 but honestly we can just use the metric system when dealing with scientific experiments and what not.  We use metric system for somethings already such as liters for large soda bottles. 

Yes, but all that work creates many jobs for many years. I believe it would be a state-by-state approach to adopt it. And it'd put some of our metal factories to use again. I know 5-10yrs isn't long, but that does temporarily boost the economy and lower the unemployment rate!
