Why do space aliens come to the earth?

It's a great place for tourists! 

(That's sarcasm.)

Finally, they say, "All the earthmen!  Be an ecologist!  Solve the global
environmental problems!  Manage the entire global environment!  Accomplish
the symbiosis with the human beings and the earth!  And then, let's
associate with us!"

We should think about the environmental problems of the earth individually,
solve the familiar environmental problems at first, and aim at the symbiosis
with the human beings and the earth in order to establish the new space
scientific era when we can keep company equally to the space aliens!

Question: Which earth species is the most symbiotic, that is, has
symbiotic relations with the greatest number of other species? 

Hint: It's found on all continents, in all climes from desert to rain
forest, it walks around on two legs, and is very intelligent!

Come on Tom, you havent even worked out planet earth yet and you start
babbling about life on another planet? ... I'll trying to help you by
staying in touch, I really dont want your mind wondering off in space
then you might be on another planet! Its pretty tricky to have someone
make you believe aliens landed on earth like tourists. Or are you the
tricky one? ... I dont believe aliens are attacking earth or visiting
because you'll have to ask them ... what do they want? .. women?
money? or food? my best bet would be food ... but i dont gamble

Boy, are you ever a "newbie"! I was commenting on someone else's
posting, with the previous post indented by > right arrows. 
That is standard practice in newsgroups. Notice above that your
comments on my statement are indented with one >,  my statements 
are indented with two >>, and the posting I had commented on was
indented with three >>>
Get it? 

Now you should realize that I wasn't the one "babbling about life on
other planets" - I'm highly skeptical of such claims. I was  pointing
out in a subtle way that we are already the most "symbiotic" species
on earth. We don't need lessons from makebelieve aliens on the subject
of symbiosis. 

The notion that some "Extraterrestrials" are going to come and solve
our problems is naive and dangerous. We must not wait for the "ET
Solution", since "ET" may not exist. We must be willing to solve our
own problems.
