>From Euric: [begin quote] Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Democratic means don't always work. We have tried the democratic way for a long time and it failed. It is time for new techniques. Personally I would rather see the collapse of the dollar wipe out the American economy, then have it rebuilt along metric lines. [end quote]
Um, do you realize that you are advocating open rebellion over the issue of metrication? Democracy has failed? On what planet have you been hiding under a rock for the past few centuries? Do you have any idea what life is like in failed or anarchic states, totalitarian states, or most other non-democratic states? Your extremism, over-simplification, and malice is very disturbing and offensive. The fact that you want harm to come to my country's material well-being is astounding. I am tempted to think that you are actually anti-metrication, and are posting inflammatory messages to this list to destroy our credibility and drive away the moderates. Carl Sorenson
