bullshit.

there are bigger countries (both area wise and population wise) that have made the switch, and most did so more than 50 years ago. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication for a timeline of when countries have made the switch.

  The primary reason is stubbornness.

Yes it would cost $ to switch, but in the long run, it would save $

Comment Re:Space camp and amusement park (Score 2) 106

what does the ratio have to do with anything?

if I take some gold and put it in a huge tank of air, I could then say there is so much more air in there than the gold, that the gold is not relevant. That is obviously false. The only thing that matters is the cost effectiveness of going and getting it.

Along those lines, there is a *lot* more stuff, just in our local solar system than there is on earth itself. So drop the "ratio" argument.

Now is it cost effective to go get it?

*That* is a reasonable question.

There are of course other possible reasons to go to space (other than getting stuff to make profit) such as science experiments, perceived need to colonise, etc but I sense that those are out of scope for your argument.

Just read a book by Andy McDermott (THE SACRED VAULT) where this exact baising is used by an evil genius to try and cause the downfall of society... Instead of letting the user decide the slant/bias, the search engine company did it for them, based on geography and search tendancies, with the goal of inflaming politics and causing wars. But seriously, is editing reality based on already exisiting biases really a good idea? I'm thinking it will make biased people more biased. :(
