Poor, poor Pluto

Bereft of its planet-hood. Or at least demoted to dwarf-planet. That's gotta be hard on Pluto's ego. I mean, if a bunch of scientists got together and then told me, "Sorry, Amanda, you no longer meet the definition of human" I'd be none too happy, and I don't think I'd be placated by the creation of a sort of sub-human label, even if it did mean I was at the forefront of a new class of sub-humans.

I think Pluto's just being punished for its erratic orbit. You try to be individual in this world--er, solar system, and look what happens.

And check out the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the linked article above. Naming those "trans-Neptunian" objects Plutonians is just a bad, bad idea. What will the writers of speculative fiction call the denizens of Pluto if 'Plutonian' comes to mean "trans-Neptunian object"? Travesty!
