Give US the Metric System!

public - created 03/16/05
What's the deal? When I was in school we were promised that the United States would adopt the metric system by 1980. "Think Metric" was the slogan they used on us. Here it is 2005 and we are still measuring things in feet and pounds. What went wrong?

Are you tired of trying to figure out if a 13/16 inch wrench is bigger than a 7/8 inch wrench? Here is your tribe.
