Well let's all have a positive attitude then, and when nothing changes I want you to remain with a positive, but useless, attitude in solving the problem. Because the reality says it ain't gonna happen. What is the swamp's motivation to change the playing field that enriches them?

That's like saying if everyone became true believers of Christianity there would be no more abortion. While the desired result of ending abortions would come about if there was a true mass resurgence to Christianity, it would require more than just a positive attitude for it to become a reality. I suggest it would take a major catastrophe for that kind of mass resurgence to occur.

It's going to take something equally as devastating for the swamp to be drained. The swamp creatures will not facilitate that draining to occur. In fact, they will resist it with all of their strength and might, just as they are doing. Simple solutions rarely, if ever, work. Many times the simple solution just creates more problems.
