> Also the metric system is European in origin.

As is quite a lot of American culture. Lots of good European ideas got improved on by America. Do one more ;-)

America would be better with just three little improvements:

- Celsius temperatures near any Fahrenheit article/post/news.

- The metric system. Just scale up and down by ten. You already do it with dollars. So consider it done.

- ISO 6801 dates. Year, month, day. Things scale down logically. Years are composed of months; and months, of days. Also, they would be no ambiguity issues.

For the amount of money you're proposing to spend to make America better we could fund universal health care and almost completely fund 2-year college for everyone. I think that would be money better spent. And despite what everyone thinks of our schools, we manage to learn both systems and divide by numbers other than 10.
