Hi Jim,



This is a broad issue, we could probably write a book on it.



I'm not sure what you are asking, so I'm not sure how to answer. Some cultures/religions center around man being just another part of nature, not separate from and/or scared of it.

Other religions advocate we are "special" and separate from "animals." I'm not sure I want to go on a crusade against certain religions, though.



I'd just like to see more honesty about this. Most of this "invasive" stuff is based on how it affects *humans* - our food supply, our commerce, our job security, our greed, etc.

We are destroying the planet and killing of species at an unprecedented rate, yet at the same time claim to be "keepers of the planet" who should decide what species should be where, and when they should be there.



You've already eloquently pointed out how successful we've been at managing "invasive" species, so I won't comment on that. Cane toad? Asian carp?



Anyway, I'm sorry if I didn't address what you asked, just not sure what specifically you were asking about.



Thanks,

Ed
