Use the metric system as a standard

Created by E.R. on February 04, 2013

The US is one of the only countries that doesn't use the metric system. This makes it very difficult for people who travel to drive because they have to try and figure out how many miles are in 20 kilometers(just an example of a situation). This could even cause deadly crashes if people were trying to figure this out at the wheel.
