And why don't you fuckers adopt the metric system?
What's going on?

At one point in time the Federal government allowed states to reduce the drinking age to 18, in those states that chose to do it. Because of the number of increased traffic fatatlities among the under 21 age group the Federal Government ordered the states to raise the age to 21 if they wanted Federal funds for highways. This American does not want to change to the metric system.
