Britain has gone metric, so we're still different.

Metric would be better in some ways, but government-forced conversion could be a big problem. We with mixed measurements seem to be doing pretty well. I think our relatively free enterprise system has done well despite a less-than-ideal mix of metric and English measurement system.

A lot of you are surely thinking that our free-enterprise medical system has problems. I don't know all the answers, but there's also a lot of government regulation is the system. I think there's a free enterprise solution, but I don't know what it is. One item is that I have heard that countries with socialized medison develop few or no new drugs.
