Dear All,
I found this item on the 'Common Cents' blog at: http://

Recession
Recently, Joseph Stiglitz attributed the recession to massive
spending on the War in Iraq. But the lack of metrication might be
another cause. If domestic demand slows, exporting products usually
will help companies weather troubling times. Exporting works because
it gets rid of the excess goods that are unneeded in the domestic
market. But these items are labeled or manufactured primarily in
Colonial units, which makes them worthless until it becomes
metricated. I don't know why some in Congress are supporting the
destruction of our country through voluntary metrication?
Cheers,
