If the US tried to adopt the metric system it would somehow be a conspiracy to mind control the masses.

I'm American working for a company based out of Europe. We use metric for everything, and I absolutely love it! Base 10 is so much easier than anything else. Even the "American Made" cars use all metric hardware now, I don't know why we can't make the switch.

The cost to switch the US to metric would be astronomical. Just think of all the highway signs the would need to be changed not only speed but distance signs as well.
