Dear Pookie,
I live in America, and while it definately has it's problems, I'm at best comfortable here. Would I move to Europe in a heartbeat? In a heartbeat. But until I have the freedom to move into a decent flat, I'm fine just staying in my apartment. But that being said, why are Americans so stubburn when it comes to forms of measurement? The metric system is far superior. How many millimeters in a centimeter? 10. How many centimeters in a meter? 100. How many meters in a kilometer? I don't know for sure, but I am assuming 100. But our system, with 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet and a yard, 5280 feet in a mile... I don't know, you would just think somebody would let down their American pride for a moment to switch to the much more simple system. Is there anything we can do about this?
With an appropriate amount of love,
Mr. O'leary
