In 1972, Chinese Communist leader, Zhou En-lai, was reported to have answered US President Richard M. Nixon’s question on the impact of the French revolution on western civilization, with the line that ‘it is still too early to tell’.

From the begining of time man has needed to measure things this is where ''a hop and a skip, a handful, or a reckon (the length of a mans arm extended) came from, measurements like this we're always enough for trade and barter between locals. From goods, barter, trade, taxes, to land offers measurements have always been important, and the tyrant ALWAYS has the scales- TO CONTROL TAXES AND ''SAFE TRADE''-
The French Revolution would be the first real metric system of the world, and the begining of the West's FEDERAL ways, with the french's feudalistic metric system:. This metric system brought ''order'' out of the traditional systems of weights and measures then being used in Europe. Prior to the introduction of the metric system, it was common for units of length, land area, and weight to vary, not just from one country to another but from one region to another within the same country. Basically before this Revolution their we're lots of tyrants with scales and this did cause problems.
This FEUDAL METRIC system  ended with France OWNING most of Europe. So it did bring order, power, land, a cut off EVERYONES goods, while removing the scales from other tyrants hands..
As the french system was crumbling America's Imperialistic metric system began to sweep across Europe before and during the revolutionary war,  England hasn't had it's chance at this ''metric system'' yet  - The English  had the Royal Arc which didn't use metrics, but the tyranny of measures on the tyrants scale. The revolutionary war, and America's more establsihed AND POPULAR metric sytstem won out.
America's Imperialistic system measures capital and is called capitalism it was the FIRST to not only measure what is traded but what is produced by paying workers on this metric system. You will notice EVERYHTING that is traded globally is in our metric system (all though this is changing). America's system seems great, we get paid, right? It improved the standard of living around the world, right?
WRONG, america's system establishes WHAT capital IS while controlling production via wages to only produce ''CAPITAL'' the system promotes..Other values (and the world has plenty) are not recognized by this system as ''capital''. The metric system actually prevents growth, and a more robust global economy, by estalishing capital finance markets that will ONLY finance what their own version of what capital is for the global markets..While domesticating everyone by not promoting capital that would produce food independence, or any indepence from the market of ''capital''-
METRIC SYSTEMS ARE TYRANNY NOT FREEDOM - that controls people, with-out wars. America's Imperial metric created the era of markets, it did raise the standard of living BY FINANCING the industry, to then create the jobs. It also domesticated us by rendering us incapable of supporting ourself with out the system. We 're so domesticated we can't eat without it.
Our system started with The Industrial revolution, where they industrialized EVERYTHING  preventing others from prodution outside of the system giving American metrics, called the system, the biggest power over world production, this was actually the biggest power grab the world has ever seen. To the booming age of information, technology, science, and drug industries they only built, but created jobs for you to be good slaves in.
America's Imperial Metric system has guided production, like technology, then created global growth via outsourcing/globalization on this technology they created to measure production and growth on.
''The Great Debate'' of world order, between  America's Imperical Metric system and Britains metric system is  not about accuracy BUT POWER to establish the metric system, thus ruling the trade, and production OF THE WORLD
Metrics (or indicators) are powerful tools for tracking  
It's the metrication, ''grid'', or index, of the metric system that is so powerful. Tracking EVERYWHERE you spend, or recieve the dollar,AND KEEPING UP ON TAXES, and it's this Index that establishes the worth of those dollars it's tracking. a metric IS NOTHING with out the system defining it, the true power of the metric system is in who establishes the grid..The first system to establish this grid ruled over large ammounts of europe with it, and was federal, the second system the world saw would rule over the world, and is imperiacal. The third system is looking like it's gonna measure humans with the metric grid that has been placed all around us. It paid special attention to growth in country's that ususally participate in the system at alll, by placing jobs in the 3rd world.
The world may seems civilized, more advanced, but the truth is the metric system WAS THE END OF DEMOCRACY, so what, you get to vote in a stooge, when it's the system that runs everything.. America's capital is the system, it should the only seem logical we would use our military to protect our capital, and it's the system of metrics that makes the west imperical.
It will be the system comming that will globalize humanity, and it will be the system, not the dollar,or lack there of, that makes you play the dumb game of giving tyrants scales TO TAX YOU WITH

TAXING IS THE POWER THE TYRANT WANTS BY WEIGHING AND MEASURE' S OF YOUR GOODS. The more they measure the more they tax.

SO THE TYRANT WITH THE SCALE BENNIFITS, by establhing the measurements of trade, because they then can tax you
