Once upon a time...



O my goodness...there was a time. There was a time when I was fascinated by our solar system, by the wonderful 9 planets that made it up. I would always marvel at how far away Pluto always was, and how icy and cold it would be. I was also only recently, like one year ago, astonished at discovering that Pluto has a moon called Charon! I mean, such a tiny planet could have a moon! That some scientists actually considered it a binary planetary system...in our own solar system! And I further delved myself into it and found out that NASA had designed an exploration called New Horizons that would advance to study Pluto, Charon, and the outer Kuiper Belt at the edge of our solar system. And New Horizons would actually carry a CD that could be electronically signed by people all over the world ...the pleasure of your name reaching the edge of our solar system. Me being the huge nerd that I am signed my name, and the names of everyone in my family, including a few best friends. :) It was the coolest experience to see the New Horizons spacecraft take off on January 19, 2006. The craft will go past Jupiter and its moons, so they'll get to study it too, and will reach Pluto in July of 2015! *WICKED*

What I don't get...is WHY on planet earth do humans have the tendency to cram a bunch of old men into tiny rooms with no windows, those with porous brains who have no sense because they've reached the pinnacle of 'senility,' and thereby seethe incompetence in upholding the good, not as immediately important but controversial, and well defined things in life and thereby destroy centuries of good old icy PLANETS! Pluto does not violate the size issue, rather is not considered a planet anymore because it dips into Neptune's orbit.

Why o why can't people put a bunch of old people into tiny rooms with no windows, those with porous brains, and hand them the other gazillions of crisis that are plaguing our world?...well, that is kind of what we're currently doing. We present these gorgeous professionals of aging with the problems of our world, such as pandemics like HIV, hunger and starvation due to poverty, global warming etc. and instead of attempting to solve them they decide to begin BLOWING STUFF UP!!!!! And make everything even worse...o what's that? Yea..worse...more hunger and starvation+mutilation, more terrorism on global warming..as in all the shit that the atmosphere's being exposed to as a result of rich people buying a million Hummers, and poor people being exposed to the gases bombs release, and did i mention that blowing up stuff can possibly release dormant pathogens into the environment and cause even more pandemics? Instead of resolving such problems, these dumb old people decide to go to war, and vanquish innocent planets that have nothing to do with earth, but everything to do with the definition and omnipotence of our solar system.

So can we PLEASE stop cramming old people into windowless rooms?! Can we PLEASE start taking a stand?!

By 'we' I mean...OUR GENERATION! a.k.a. those who have functional neurons!!!!!!!

Once upon a time, Pluto was a planet. It isn't anymore.

*SO MAD*
