The Bulletin is endorsing the idea that we convert to a foreign concept of measurements and abandon a system of weights & measures that helped make our country great beyond the dreams of all other countries.

America has become strong and prospered in the past 150 years because our government has stayed out of the way of people and manufacturers, allowing companies to grow to their full extent possible. That was the past. Now we have government that wants to make us more like the European concept with their measurements, laws and regulations.

I guess Obama and his socialist friends in Congress want to do the same damage they did with Obamacare. They voted for that on a Friday night, without reading it. His friend Nancy Pelosi said, let's vote for it and then we can find out what’s in it. That is the mentality of those running our government.

I for one, am happy with our measurement system. It works for me. Leave it alone.
