We've been trying to reach an agreement for years. They want to cut off their nose to spite their face, go ahead. Obviously they love their land so much that they are not open to reasonable offers. It's time to move on and solve it another way.

Oh, the drama! "Peoples' homes!". Like there aren't other houses for sale in this city. Homes had to be expropriated to build the glenome elbow interchange. My grandparents' first farm was expropriated by the airport 50 years ago. They're over it. It's not the end of the world. The indians are calling their land sacred. I think that if anyone gets to be sentimental about land, it's the indians. Us honkeys can suck it up and buy a different house.
