Must America Be So Pigheaded?

I have lived in Japan for 6 months and I'm going to say something I've known and understood since high school in the states. Can we PLEASE conform to the metric system? We are the ONLY idiots refusing to give up an out-dated system that we were "so sure" would catch on. This just in: It never caught on. Let's give it up already. I hate how moronic I feel (and we look) out here trying to figure out size, speed and god forbid temperature. And let's not even start me on time!

Maybe if we weren't so big headed and gave this losing game up, people in other countries would actually start listening to some of the information we say again.
