Rubbish, I say! Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish!

In my heart, Pluto is still a planet, and always will be.

I think you meant "...really should *not* be allowed..." but the savepluto LJ page won't let me post a comment there.

Isaac Asimov actually demoted Pluto back in 1975. See http://autotruezone.livejournal.com/4894.html

First, Pluto is a planet, damn it!

Second, someone really needs to be hanged for this bit of stupidity.
