    Sobbing wildly for the loss of Pluto

    I never knew how much I cared about Pluto until s/he was lost, stripped of its dignity and its standard in the interplanetary universe.

    I grieve for the loss of Pluto, and his/her undignified relegation to being a "dwarf planet."

    Who gives those astronomers the right to stomp on my heart that way?

    Horses' heads to all of them.
