youre right social, but I also wonder if a pound of shwag in the phillipines isnt uncommon, I know many south american countries see that much per person all the time considering the loose laws.....I think the majority of the world uses metric...But the US, being so high and mighty and kick ass decided to go with the customary system just to mess with peoples heads...

Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty... We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive." Albert Einstein
