Interesting point..... I just read in the NY Times this morning........that maybe some of the bigger States or regions in this country might consider Devolving..... That America may just be too big to be run effectively from a central gov't...... Did you know that Calif would a nation-state in itself? It already has the 8th largest economy in the world...... More on this to follow.... Tim P.S. I think much of Maine and Vermont used to be part of Massachussetts back then...Just like Suffolk Co. used to be.........on the far end of Long Island....

Hi Tim, I think if you check you will find that Suffolk County had a connection to CT rather than MA. Early Long Islanders used to go to Hartford, CT. It had to do with the Treaty of Hartford in 1650. Bobbi On 2/11/07, TJmsn119@aol.com <TJmsn119@aol.com> wrote: > > Interesting point.....
