I find you Americans lucky actually, because you can at least discuss these questions. In Europe it is impossible to hold our governments accountable. We dont understand why they are doing things, how they are doing things, all of our mainstream news is a copy paste of CNN. They open detention centers, our phonelines are wiretapped by god knows how much intel agency in our countries, then we ask, how is it good to our country, what do we have to do with all of this and get no response besides that if we question it there wont be an alliance and we will be overrun by our enemies, who are actually changing time to time. But there is an entriely new level of it. So lets say we in Germany cant spy on German citizens, OK no problem, British can spy on German citizens, so it will be done by the British, meanwhile we can spy on British citizens, and the two intelligence agency which is really one, can change information amongst themselves without any governmental oversight.

Imperial system is excellent, as long as you want to have just distance measurements, or weight measurements. It comes out how sucks it is, when you start density measurements, pressure measurements, or anything which comes from the composition of basic units, then comes the horrible calculation constants kicks in with pounds per square inch (why do you use inch for pressure, why dont you use feet, or anything else, is absolutely behind my comprehension, in SI its of course square meters), or pound per cubic feet (again if you used inch for pressure, why do you use feet for density, and miagine what happens if you want to calculate hydrostatic pressure, where you combine density and pressure, which have totally different units measuring the area component one in feet other in inch, it sucks on a very basic level). Scientists and engineers use the metric system even in the US because its more convenient, not out of some vanity. The two single imperial units which are making sense in a practical sense are the nautical mile, since its exactly one minute latitude, which could only described as 1830 meters, and knot which is one nautical mile per hour, so in navigation those are the easier units to use. But why to have statute miles if you have nautical miles is again weird, its like imperial users actually found a useful measuring unit then shy away from it.
