Poor little thing! I just finished reading that many scientists are saying it will be reinstated because the findings were discrimitory and not ' Politically Correct.' 
Seriously, I did read that many are disputing the findings. I hope they reinstate its position .. I tend to like the underdog!

But wait...it gets worse for Pluto...
First Pluto was tossed out of the family of planets by 2500 people who couldn't find anything better to do. Now, it has been classified a dwarf planet. Now, doesn't that constiute dwarf tossing, which is very politically incorrect? What a convention that must be with all the talk about the rings around Uranus!

Corbin_Dallas, I'm afraid that I will probably always think of it as a planet. But, in the grand scheme of things, it is whatever it is and whatever we call it doesn't really matter a whit.

I agree with bel.... I wonder if this is how people felt when they
were told the world wasn't actually flat.

It's odd to realize
that something that seemed so concrete could change so easily.

Yep...They reversed their decision
The decision at the conference, attended by 2,500 astronomers from 75 countries, was a dramatic shift from just a week ago, when the union’s leaders floated a proposal that would have reaffirmed Pluto’s planetary status and made planets of its largest moon and two other objects.
But that plan proved unpopular, splitting astronomers into factions that spent days locked in sometimes combative debate that led to Pluto’s undoing.

They voted it out?!
I thought last week that they voted to keep it in?
At any rate, Jupiter has no right to brag ... it's not even hard.
(It's just a "big 'ol ball of gas".)
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see
more and more planets
fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
