After reading this hardly " vacuous " speech I am convinced that the
mainstream news media would be foolish indeed to marginalize Rhode
Island's Lincoln Chafee. One surprise for me here was his support for
the international metric system. It seems America is behind Europe in
more ways than one.
There is still in America what science writer Isaac Asimov called " a cult of ignorance ". And I just heard right wing talk radio making fun of Chafee's GO METRIC advice. " He is the only candidate talking about the metric system " ( Gene Valicenti ).
As a matter of fact confusion in converting metric units to English units is responsible for a number of NASA disasters. And daily tragedies in our health care system.
Russia's Vladimir Putin has scolded America for its arrogant " exceptionalism ". We have a lot to learn from " Old Europe ". I also will note that Socialism is not a scorned and mocked idea over there.
Lincoln Chafee and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont are a significant political challenge to Queen Hillary.
