(Very good article in general.)
Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it political? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular – but one must take it simply because it is right. — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Just inviting species to come on in, take their shoes off and settle in. If you make an environment inviting to other species, then invade they will.)
