Has American Isolationism helped or hindered the United States?
As an American, I should lift America up into measurement harmony on Earth one American at a time and Register with Metric Pioneer dot com starting with myself right now because no one is a foreigner when I consider Earth my home. Kill the inch!
As an American, I should do nothing and perpetuate American measurement isolation. I should keep our American kids unaware of the International System (SI) because America should work toward isolation from the global market place. Any job involving a measurement system is beyond my ability.
Show answer
The answer to this question is a matter of opinion (but the first one is obviously the correct answer).
