    The entire country should switch to the metric system.  Our being lazy 
and not wanting to learn something should serve as no excuse for our 
hanging on to an antiquated system.  I for one am tired of having to switch 
back and forth simply because most people are lazy and those that are in 
charge are to stupid to change our educational system.
    Since this is techdiver I would be willing to change the MOD on every 
bottle I own (there this post was related to diving and not just my venting 
because I am tired of studying) if we would switch.
