"You know very well, their whole deal is to never get'er done."

I doubt he would agree with that. I do not.

I think that the natives feel they own the land per European standards, so they expect to be compensated accordingly. Only then will things get done by them.

Most of us with European roots do not agree, hence the stand off.

Someone has to blink or nothing will ever get done. Am hanging on to hope for my life and future.
