Hi,
Another week and more updates.
This week we updated our Dummy of The Week. Click here to visit the page.
We also added a new editorial titled Hezbollah and Lebanon, United In Their Hatred of Jews. click here to visit ItsTheRightWay.com and read this latest editorial.
We are pleased to announce that we have added a new store to The Shops @ ItsTheRightway.com, called SarahMax FUN STORE.
Since we are affiliated with a number of online companies that offer exciting, interesting and fun products, we decided to showcase these wonderful stores by creating the FUN STORE.
USA System of Measurement Vs. The Metric System.
While the U.S. is still one of three countries not to use the metric system (Mayamar and Liberia are the others), a great part of our society is using the metric system more and more.
The U.S. uses the USA System of Measurment.
Measurements on new vehicles, hospitals and certain product labels (cigarettes) use the metric system as their standard measure.
Many businesses in the U.S. use metric, especially if they do significant international business.
The metric system is still voluntary but as time goes on, we will be using metric as the standard. I believe the U.S. will use the metric system as its standard within the next 20 years.
It makes sense in this global economy to be on the same page as our international partners.
The metric system is also easier to use because the metric system is a system of measurements in which all units are based on multiples of 10 (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-44,GGLG:en&defl=en&q=define:Metric+system&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title.
We will see you next week with another update.

The British Standards Inststitute is labelling clothing in metric, per BS-EN 13401. This is due more to the multitude of clothing size scales in use, but it can do away with the practice of "vanity sizing". I have been ready for this since 1983
Just found your site, interesting. Anyway I am 32 now and I remember being 7 and they taught us the metric system saying we would need to know it in 2 YEARS!!! The siwtch hasn't happened yet. As for it being easier, I find the opposite true. Maybe if I used it everyday I would think differently, but our system now just seems so easy. Then again I went through school back when they still gave a crap. : )
