"Please forward your inane complaining to"

Well, I've been told I am inane in of myself many, MANY times, but I hope what I say does not come off as complaining.

Pluto indeed, does NOT fit the current scientific definition of full fledged planet.

But at the same time, that is, believe it or not, is not the point.

The point is a matter of culture. Pluto being a planet is a part of our culture. "The last tiny way station" between our solar system and the inky blackness of space and god of the dead."

Pluto does NOT fit the text book definition of a planet, but I do feel that, in my ignorant and unscientific gut, that something about the text book definition doesn't -feel- right.

But again, as said, this isn't about the text book meaning one way or the other (though people would jump for job if the TBD did match up), it's about the place Pluto has found in our CULTURE, and to remove it's station as a planet, feels dishonorable to the distant piece of space rock.

If this happened in 2000 years when Pluto is destine to be a tourist trap, the handful of locals would be enraged at their tiny lump of space rock being declared not a planet.
