that is why we are free

Really now? Try selling bananas by the pound at the local market. See how free you are.

"Queen obeys Europe and adopts metric rule"
The Queen has been told that the Sandringham Estate must stop selling wood in imperial measures within two weeks or trading standards officers will prosecute. The Sandringham sawmill, on the Queen's Norfolk estate, has been selling oak and teak timber in feet and inches rather than metres, which is a criminal offence under EC metrication laws.

Lets compare evidence,

U.S. attack on freedom - complete prohibition on any religious activity on public property up to and including red and green clothing at parties.

U.K. attack on freedom - standardised weights and measures law.

I'm no fan on the metric system, but to compare the two incidents is completely fruity-loops.
