Pluto has now officially been downgraded to 'dwarf planet' status. What's your reaction?

New info, new maps.

Leader! Most 1st Place Votes
Scientific research is always supplying new information, so being against Pluto's demotion is sort of like being against a "round world" or gravity. In short, yes: kick Pluto to the curb.

We as humans often don't like "change".

examples- Flat world to round world; Vikings vs. Columbus; Women's right to vote; Men as "stay at home" dads; did these changes come easy? They changed pluto...ok...that makes them feel like they have purpose in life:) anyway, maybe in the long run we will agree, maybe not. ah, freedom

it's not a demotion, it's more of a reclassification. i think it came down to either make several dozen more objects into "Planets" or make Pluto something else. does it really matter what it is anyway?
