....Or maybe a certain section of people believe what they're told by some sections of the media with an anti-metric agenda, many of whom are to be found in publications like the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph. Worth pondering! . ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Humphreys To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 10:25 AM Subject: [USMA:46600] RE: Burma I find the comments quite interesting.

It has, as I can recount from my own visit there.
