I think that just because we changed out mind now, Pluto has been a planet for so many years and who are we to change that? What 'hard-hitting' evidence did we find that makes it absolutely necessary to change it's status?"

Auggie had a solar system model back home and he was definately not going to be ripping the little blue ball off that represented Pluto. "How do you feel about it?"

As he settled into place, Gideon listened to what his fellow lion had to say. It seemed August appeared to be thinking along the lines he himself had....why change something when its been one way for so long. "Aye...I have to agree there," he answered, showing his agreement to the mutual thought before adding to it.

"If they needed guidelines for the future discovery of celestrial objects, they could have simply and easily based them off what the nine original planets shared together." Certainly made sense to him seeing as they had all be discovered over time and by different people. Who was to say that one astronomer was wrong because he had labeled Pluto as a planet in the first place. "You didn't see them changing the rules so that Jupiter would be omitted because it was too large or Saturn because it had rings or Uranus because its axis is different from the rest."

Poor Pluto being the odd man---dwarf planet out.
