Look, if Ida and her family don't want to sell the land, then that is their right, and Luminant and the rest have NO claim to it....
My question is this: where was the media when the people of NEW LONDON CONNECTICUT had their private property rights abrogated by the U.S. Supreme Court? Their land seized by the government...and that land was given BACK TO PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS....

She was born in 1911, and she was the daughter and wife of former slaves? Her parents would have to be in their 40s when she was born. Possible. And her husband would have to have been in his 60s - if she married at age 20 or so. While it is possible on both counts, I somehow doubt it is true. I believe the journalist just got carried away...
