I want to be able to use both systems. You have a great point there! Some
things are better visualized and worked in the Imperial, and some are better
in the metric... like when I'm working with small amounts of plastic or
stuff in the chemistry world. I don't think governments should impose one
system over another. I think we, individually, should be able to use
whatever system works for us. And if I can't sell what I make in inch/pounds
then it's my problem. If I have to convert nuts and bolts to metric in order
to sell, well then, that's what I'll do. We are in a supply/demand economy,
Thank God!
