There is of course the theory that Jupiter saves our bacon by vacuuming up most stray comets.

Yes, I have heard that before, too. I think it's a well-accepted theory.

Sounds like more of that Jupiter puffery to me.

Well, I hope that youse Earthlings keep paying Juiper its 'protection' money. You got a nice planet here, and I'd hate to see anything bad happen to it...

Planetary exloitation!

Jupiter is using it's excessive and nefariously obtained gravity to rob other planets of their rightful comets.

We need a celestial affirmative action program, with comet quotas, redistribution and reparations so the other planets who lost the planetary gravity lottery can be made whole. Only government can right this historical wrong.

It's for the children...

Anyone who disagrees must be an ignorant bigot.
