Change our measurement system to Metric

The metric system has been officially sanctioned for use in the United States since 1866, but it remains the only industrialised country that has not adopted the metric system as its official system of measurement. Not only will the metric system finally allow the US to easily communicate and trade with other nations, It would also eliminate the need of fractions making math and engineering measurements much easier to create and read. On December 23, 1975, President Gerald Ford signed the Metric Conversion Act into law; this act gave official sanction for the United States to convert to the metric system of measurement. The money saved up for the conversion was later put into the army and we gave up metrication. http://www.nist.gov/pml/wmd/metric/upload/1136a.pdf
