Americans: Do you favor switching to the metric system?

Re: Americans: Do you favor switching to the metric system?
The metric system makes more sense. In the UK we use an odd combination of metric and imperial. For example, most of us use metres for shorter distances, but miles for long distances or feet for height, and for fluid measurements we tend to use litres for most things, unless it's a pint of beer or milk. It's a bit of a mess really, but my generation learnt both in school and can use them interchangeably for the most part.
