I wonder. Do they even know what they are doing?

Yes I heard about this dilemma..I don't think they should allow any more planets...why do we need anymore? After all, it is the vast majority of America that believe's in isolationism..Don't they?

Corbin - Justi has a point!
There will be a division in the astrologer camp too! What a can of worms, and why didn't they predict that there were more planets there in the first place? Why have they discriminated against the dwarf planets? Size shouldn't matter!

Not to mintion the hole in the Astrologer's predictions. They have missed all the effects from those planets. They don't even know their personalities yet; with these new found helps they will now know everything, totaly everything. Lot of changes on the horizion.

Overcrowded schools!

Corbin,
there are certainly immense possibilities for making hay here! And I also like mademoiselle's proposal, although it would, of course, further strain our relations with the turbaned crowd!
Incidentally, mademoiselle's view of God almost exactly corresponds to mine, right down to the deep voice! What the hell (if I may use that term in this context) is going on here?

Since there are now going to be 12 ...
I think we should rename all of them ... after the apostles.
I mean, why should the planets be named after gods and goddesses from an antiquated religion that few, if any, people even still ascribe to?
Surely, no one would object to changing Mercury to "Peter", Earth to "Matthew", Pluto to "Judas", so on and so forth.
Oh, and the Sun would now be called "God".
I'll be the first to admit that my idea of God is pretty different.
I believe in a God with a long white beard, a gold crown,
and a long robe with lots of shiny jewels on it.
He sits on a big throne in the clouds, and he's about five hundred feet tall.
He talks in a real deep voice like, "I...AM...GOD!"
And, he can blow up stuff just by looking at it.
This is my own, personal idea of God.
