>>The groups against the pythons are also the groups whose ultimate goal has always been that there is nothing there at all. I’m against that. The everglades region can thrive, just accept that it won’t be the same as the field guide from fifty or a hundred years ago, today, or fifty years from now. There will probably be emus, capybara, pouched rats, and macaws. So what? Better than a lifeless zone. You want to pave it though, don’t you? Admit it.

Oh puhleez, this last part (the part about "nothing there at all" and "you want to pave it" is just complete baloney. I would use a stronger term, but I do try to be polite.
