Some people have WAY too much power

Earlier today, astronomers made it official that Pluto is no longer a planet. Since 1930, we have been told that Earth is the 3rd of 9 planets that revolve around the sun. Today, we are being told that all of that was a lie. Or at least a mistake. Now we are the 3rd of 8. Maybe tomorrow they'll discover another planet and tell us we're the 3rd of 9 again or even 10. Or maybe not even 3rd.

But should a group of scientists be allowed to wield this much power by eliminating planets? What next? Am I going to be told that the moon isn't really a moon? Better yet, should I believe them, or even care?

Personally, I do care, but not for a reason you'd think. I'm much more disappointed that the "MVEMJSNUP" episode of Saved by the Bell is now suddenly dated.

    Way to go Brian. You didn't even know the order of the nine planets we used to have.
