This Blog, though created for a class, has been given a free hand in its subject matter. Therefor, I would like to adress an issue that I know is bothering many people right now (1/25/08).
Pluto.
Now some may think that the controversy surrounding the downgrading of our solar system's most remote, (and therefore most beloved as absence makes the heart grow fonder), planet, Pluto, (that's planet, not planetoid) has died down due to the time elapsed and because no one cares. They are wrong. I think I speak for all of us, my friends, when I say that I am angry at the scientific community for their heinous theivery of one of our planets. That's right folks, Pluto was discovered by an American, Percival Lowell, right here in America, that is, Flagstaff, Arizona. And we cannot allow these bleeding heart liberal geniuses with there media driven "accurate science" agendas to take away from the amount of stuff Americans like to pretend they own. We cannot allow an American discovery to sullied by the "oid" suffix based on nothing but proven facts and observed evidence. It's about the spirit, folks. The American spirit that says "I didn't give a damn about Pluto untill you told me it wasn't a planet, and now I'm mad because I've been really bored since celebrities stopped talking about the war!"

Yeah, I was a bit perturbed by the whole Pluto thing too. It is disappointing to grow up believing something and then be told it's really not true in adulthood. We should start a petition to have Pluto reinstated!
