This is the work of the big corporations always picking on the little people and the little planets. Somebody call the ACLU.

You can't just make a guy part of the family then all of the sudden revoke his planet status. It ain't right. I'm with you Pluto, to hell with what they say.

The Solar System's planets can end at Neptune, as it (currently) is the farthestmost planet that is generally in the same plane as the other planets.

Relegated to junk-planet status.

This is outrageious. First they kick Taiwan out of the UN, then they kick Pluto out of the solar system. What's next? Are we going to rename Earth and start calling it something stupid like "the Planet"? Citizens of the Solar System unite and Save Pluto Now!!

Actually, they just swapped the Republic of China for the People's Republic of China, though today Taiwan is for the large part a de facto country.

By Golly,
If I were Pluto, I would just take my moons and leave the Solar System!
No way would I stay around and be the Joe Leiberman of the Universe!

"One possible resolution to the debate is for new categories of planet to be introduced. Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Mars would be "rocky planets"."
I move that we rename these planets, respectively, 'Rocky I, Rocky II, Rocky III, and Rocky IV.
