The solution is wrong. It is not about decimalization. I would like to see some other reasons.

John Taylor's austerity model
Noahpinion: John Taylor's austerity model:
Classic Noahpinion:
"The 70s" is just a word that conservative writers throw into their pieces so that conservative old men who read the article will nod their snowy heads in sage agreement and mumble "Yes, the 70s. Carter. Stagflation. Mmm-hmm!"

Objections to U.S. Troops Intensify in Afghanistan - NYTimes.com:
Are we an occupier?
American forces are still there, and the top American commander, Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., said that despite the public demands by President Karzai, “he has not issued a directive to the force, and he realizes that we’re working this as quickly as we can.” He was referring to a long-term plan to hand over authority to Afghan officials. American officials have confirmed that no withdrawal of the Special Operations troops is now under way.

New Pope Theologically Conservative, but With a Common Touch
This would describe any of the 115 cardinals.
But Cardinal Bergoglio is also a conventional choice, a theological conservative of Italian ancestry who vigorously backs Vatican positions on abortion, gay marriage, the ordination of women and other major issues

A Divide on Voting Rights in a Town Where Blood Spilled
Another dumb article on arguments about the "shape of the earth". There is no equivalence on this issue. This would be like writing an article in 1860 about whether there was a divide in opinion whether slavery was good or bad.
