I'm Just Sick About Pluto
What a bummer. You're just sitting out there, the furthest, coldest and smallest planet in the solar system, and then you get the word that you aren't even in the system anymore. You aren't even a planet anymore. A bunch of people on Earth have demoted you. And Earth, what's Earth? Only the planet who thinks they know everything, right up to who's a planet and who isn't.
Earth is unendurable for their invasive and patronizing attitude to the rest of the galaxies.

it seems like some kind of draconian punishment--excommunication. drummed out of planethood! what did Pluto do? have an unplanned pregnancy? put dynamite in the levee? agree with the Swift Boat guys? personally I wouldn't have made it not-a-planet. where was the harm?

Pluto deserved it. It got a lot of undeserved credit for a long time, when there are many other similar planetoids wandering around out there. It just haoppened to be first. I hope Pluto does the right thing and gracefully recedes into the Kupier Belt.

tell me my ears are deceiving me -- what kind of celestial elitism is that? planetoids. . ."wandering" -- even the words you use are condescending. like they don't play a vital role in defining our very humanity. I loved Pluto. nothing is going to be the same.

it's true: i am a planetary elitist. I will only accept celestial objects rounded by their own gravity into the pantheon.

Pluto is rounded by its own gravity. (Not that anyone's ever going to read this.) So is Charon, its moon. In fact on proposal would have Pluto and Charon be a pair of sister planets.
