Wire size drills

John - I agree with you. All those things exist. And in a free society these things - outdated and cumbersome - tend to hang on forever and ever. That is why we elect people to certain positions to use common sense and we give them the authority needed to make decisions even if these don't always represent the majority. That is called "Leadership", not "Dictatorship". For the common good we in the US (our leaders) decided to drive on the right side. We would have chaos on our streets if everybody was to do his own thing. It is called "passing a law".
The cowardly way out is for politicians to keep pushing out the implementations of laws over years and years, trying to please some people who like to hang on to somethings no longer needed. The saying is:"One can always depend on the US to do the right thing - soon after they try everything else first. (Churchill)
That will happen with health care, with the change to metric, with the way we pay for schools, with the way we build our highways etc. etc..
We can not even agree to change the old 1$ bill to a coin. To heavy for some. In 1959 you needed 7 to 9 cents in your pocket for one Newspaper. The 1$ bill is the dirtiest thing around, but one Senators State makes the paint and another State makes the paper.
Democracy is a very bad form of government....but all the others are - in the long run - much worse.

We've been working on metric now for just short of 150 years...... we even had to legalize inches based on metric
