While Europe expands eastward, Pan-American free trade zone is evolving in North and South America with a group of 34 nations. This means that the goods should include Portuguese along with the existing English, French and Spanish. Luckily this will push the need for US to go metric, but the wombat lovers will try to push non-si down the throat of all the North and South Americans. Its time for us to ensure that metric overtakes wombat before the agreement comes into effect by 2005. For this, it is not enough, if the EU alone supports the metric, they should include ASEAN, Japan, China in their group to push US to metric. http://news.ft.com/ft/gx.cgi/ftc?pagename=View&c=Article&cid=FT3EP81RALC&live=true&tagid=IXLYK5HZ8CC Madan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
