[pct-l] Public Notice

Tortoise,

I'm damn proud to be an American and that's just what I will be!  So what if
the rest of the world is on the darn metric system.  When they want money
from America, we don't give them rubles, pounds or yen.  We give the good
old American DOLLAR.  When we send food we send pounds or tons of food, we
don't agree to send Kilos of food.  So, screw the metric system.  Long live
the mile, the ounce, and the lb.!

J

Welcome to the global / flat / international world.

Next we gotta get hikers to report distances in kilometers (I use "klom" 
for short.)  Besides doesn't 4,200 klom sound better than 2600 miles?
