Not at all.Â* Winning independence from an oppressive government does not
mean that a country must cleanse itself of everything taken from that
government, nor does receiving help from the French in our war of
independence mean that we have to take their form of government,
measurements, literature, etc.Â* What's ironic is that the rest of the
world can't stay out of our business.Â* Everyone hates the USA, yet they
all line up for the benefits to be gained from the US. Take care of
yourselves for a change, pay your own bills for once, and leave us
alone.Â* And you might take the UN with you when you leave.

Isn't it ironic that the US persists in using the outdated Imperial system of measures inherited from and now discarded by the British, with whom you fought a war for independence, rather than the metric system invented by the French who sent you the Statue of Liberty?
