why is the US not Metric

:palm: :-DD :-DD
Man, this guy... complains that USA isn’t metric enough, complains that old non-metric parts are hard to find and expensive (meaning that we DID metricate!), and also seems to think that maintaining old stuff is a bad idea. Yes, let’s take everything that’s non-metric and put it in the trash. That should free up lots of space in museums and older cities. Tear down everything that’s not metric!

I still want to see a leader of the metrics who is called "metroid prime". I think this would be pretty sweet.

The "leader of the metrics" is reason. I guess that's why you don't see him much.

You haven't. You are perpetuating the problem you are crusading against. You're the one who restored this old drill rather than properly disposing of this imperial garbage. You cling to an old drill that can be replaced for under $20.00. But you want Americans to throw away a lot more.
