Liberty Units FTW!

Miles, pounds, and gallons are imperial units from the days before our freedom when we were ruled over by a foreign king.  The king pressed his foot onto our neck, but the Founding Fathers rebelled. 

Antiquated imperial units are submissive and cowardly.  Don't lick the boots of a dead king.  Stand for liberty and use metric.

Meters

George Washington's boat in Leutze's famous painting is depicted at about 4 or 5 meters long (the actual boats used in 1776 to cross the Delaware River were somewhat bigger).
