That's right, a lot of the alligators and their fellow critters descend in part from the Ten Lost Tribes of the nation the drainists claim they speak for, and they're all fellow phylum chordata with closely related languages .... another of the swamp's little ironies

Then you go on to say pretty much, it's a done deal <shrug>, let's call it fait accompli, and why can't the alligators just put up curtains on that little barbwire enclosure they were left, and call that home

Because that's not good enough, Mq - it's their swamp ... you make it all sound so reasonable, when it's not ... with you, or i, or most people we know, you could just say to both parties, Look here, why don't we sit down with a nice cup of tea and a bacon sandwich and work this out ... you can't do this here, you've got drainists that won't stop till they get to the Arabian Swamp, and maybe not then, and you've got alligators in which the drainists have brought out a certain fundamentalist They Shall Not Pass attitude .... plus you've got a rabid drainism promoter that will likely read this, so what i might say to a civilised human being would be out of place here, save for this -

Gandhi was right, when he said the swamp belongs to the critters fully as much as Drylandistan belongs to the drylandistanis, and the drylandistanis can settle in the swamp only with the good will of the critters .... to spell that out real clear, it means they must not come there with tanks and armoured D9s, and while there they must put out of their heads this crap about an Excludostaat
