<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treehugger, post: 2047922, member: 28451&quot;]The metric system is actually easier to use.&nbsp; You just multiply or divide by 10, 100 or 1000.&nbsp; By contrast, the system we use is really silly when you think about it.&nbsp; There is no instinctive relationship between an inch and a foot and a yard and a mile.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, we already buy soda in liters, wine in milliliters, aspirin in milligrams and bullets in millimeters.&nbsp; The metric system is already a part of our lives. Look at the label of just about any product you buy and it will include the metric equivalent.&nbsp; So, I would say they have been very successful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
