Probably so, Rick, but as long as your representatives
insist on Roo Scales of Measurement, we impoverished suppliers are
obligated to joey-rig them into the system.
Size doesn't matter (HA! say the enzyteful sales guys).
Dominant powers with cash get to overule the standards even
if their incentives are ice floes, stringy meat sandwiches and
country music stars with strange speaking accents (Sure, Keith
Urban is a Southerner, WAAAAAY southern, well actually, he's a kiwi
and not a true ga?urru but don't tell Nicole that because she's
a real macropus and a flyer.)

I don't agree that the smaller countries (i.e. the US or Europe) should
have to
yield to the larger country (i.e. Australia, including our Antarctic
Territories.)
For a start, I can imagine that our standard unit of distance (the
"hop") ,
area (the "square hop"), and longtitude and latitude (the "hopalong" and
"hopalot")
would be unintuitive for people from the kangaroo-poor nations, however
reasonable they may seem to us.
With the customary marsupial blandishments,
