If I remember correctly, creating a swamp only serves to constantly  
remind those who are stuck with it afterward that swamp creation was/ 
is a very bad idea. Besides, if you have an idea of where/how one  
might build a more "solid foundation", persuading us now, up front  
might be a more effective way of bringing people around than  
intentionally degrading the only "ground" that's currently apparent.
