Still Mad at Jimmy
30 January, 2010 - 19:45 | by fyl
It's been over 30 years and I am still mad at President Jimmy Carter. I finally decided I better tell him while he is still on the planet. I'm sure he reads this blog so here goes.
While it isn't totally Jimmy's fault that the U.S. never really went to the metric system (details available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_States ) the real problem was that he was an honest man, not a politician. He said, probably in 1976, that the U.S. would be on the metric system by 1978. I believed him.
