But Dee, does that make it right? Should I go to someone else to buy a queen palm because my landscaper (correctly) says it's invasive, or should I choose a better palm for my area? What if I decide to buy a gas hog instead of a more gas-efficient car because somebody else will if I don't...?

Interesting dilemma.
