<t>Many thanks for your reply, I looked up the websites you suggested<br/>
<br/>
on the US constitution and found the appropriate clause you mentioned.<br/>
<br/>
As I understand the clause, would it be fair to say that any state has<br/>
<br/>
or had the right to secede, without fear of ...

Was there any provision in the US constitution or the laws

of the individual states of the union to secede from the Union

if a state so wished in 1861 ?

Why is the word abreviation such a long word ?

Alan.

<t>Why is it that in the USA shovels spades etc. do not have 'T' handles<br/>
<br/>
as in the UK? surely it is much easier with a handle. Also the brown<br/>
<br/>
paper bags in supermarkets would be much easier to carry with handles.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
If you can give a handle to a CB radio ...
