Should the U.S. convert to the Metric system? (drug, state, Arizona)

[Willsson]

I cannot wait for that day....

For what good reason? Are you losing a vast amount of money in international trade? Or you just think that measuring in tens would be more fun? And the U.S. already uses metric where needed.

I suspect any law that forces the country to convert is going to make a lot of money for those who will do the converting. Kinda like O'care. Be more like O'metrics.

I certainly hope NOT.

Not in my lifetime. We are more likely to be invaded and forced to switch to darseks, tarims and kellicams.

The same day we make English the official language of the US.

We can hope, it'd be a lot less confusing.

It isnt the official language, basically isnt enough.

Basically you have a choice to use metric or not.

Road signs are in English and daily speech is in English. People you do not know speak English with you. English is our national language.

Road signs and daily speech is not in metric. Not same thing

We already did...partially. When's the last time you bought a two quart bottle of coke? Or asked for 1/64th an ounce or asprin? We have a hybrid system. So what.
