The conversion period is always painful The UK is presently converting slowly 
to metric weights I noticed with all the usual hoohaa, nonsense and lies. I can 
remember the English three tier currency of twelve pence to the shilling and 
twenty shillings to the pound and it all seemed to make perfect sense.The US 
has metric currency but your obdurate refusal to convert does cause some 
difficulties for the rest of us who have to deal with you. Time to get rid of 
bushels, guys.
I was astonished by some of the objections I saw to universal health care in 
the US. Seemed to be based on some strange misconceptions that must make sense 
from the inside.
