Seriously. The same Mother Nature that gave us kittens also gave us anglerfish and parasites that eat the tongues of fish in order to attach themselves to the bleeding stump and serve as a replacement tongue. Do those actions reek of a kind and loving ecosystem, or one that should be cherished?
Nope. Humanity didn't succeed by being one with nature; it succeeded by herding two of every animal into a boat and then exploding the boat with napalm, so that it could better find out what kind of animal tasted best charred to a crisp so it could farm them for all eternity.

True. Earth is, however, like the household of an abusive drunk of a mother and her swarm of bloodthirsty feral children, in a neighborhood without protective services. Humanity is that drunk mother's only intelligent child, a bright-eyed seventeen-year-old who dreams of becoming a journalist in New York City. What humanity needs to do is grow up quickly, pack its bags (along with a few of the less feral and more useful children, like certain strains of E. coli, Felis Catus and certain varieties of beans) and leave this planet. Maybe Mars will be habitable, even if you have to live in subterranean vaults for several generations while the terraforming happens. Maybe Alpha Centauri will be more promising. Maybe my buddy and I will get off our asses and discover negative mass so we can travel faster than light. Who knows.
Until then, I will proudly continue to leech off of the Earth's drying-up teat with the enthusiasm of a sentient vacuum cleaner on holiday. Up yours, mum.
Hey, those things are awesome!
Besides, every planet we reach is dead.
Mars has alkaloid soil. It's got iron. It's even got a CO2 atmosphere. All it needs is its nougaty center to start spinning, some water and some Deschampsia antarctica, and you're set.
