...going to war in Iraq. Let’s not forget that, if we switched to metric, gasoline would go from costing (on average) $2.73 per gallon to $0.72 per liter—we all know that wouldn’t please Cheney’s Haliburton friends. Unfortunately, even a person as erudite as Michael Moore failed to see the close link between the war and the U.S. customary units when he called his insightful, scholarly opus on the War in Iraq Fahrenheit 911 and not Celsius...

...resilience of local economies. "When we lost the railroad depot years ago, we thought we were done for, but then we had an oil boom. When that ended, we thought we were done for, but then a shoe factory came. Then that closed, but we had companies like Minwax, Haliburton, Sparton horns and a German company, Hella, that makes relay switches...
