I remember reading in an article about how hardly any of the astronomers of the world were there and allowed to vote. That needs to be rectified. At some point or another, all planets have some kind of debris in their path, but does that mean they should be excluded as planets? Nope.

Pluto will always be a planet to me. That and Mickey Mouse's dog, but seriously, Pluto is a planet.

I swear. Sometimes the IAU can be idiots! Instead of taking away the planet status of Pluto, why not just classify it as a certain kind of planet.

I've always believed Pluto to be a planet. For me, it is a planet. Anyone who says otherwise clearly doesn't know what they're talking about.

Now I would love to see @Angie blog about Charon and Pluto and how they use to be dubbed a double planet system.

Same here. :)

We need a new rule. If the orbit isn't clear, but it has moon, it is a planet.

That's what I think. To me, Pluto is a particular breed of planet. 

Dwarf planets are planets too.
