Pluto!!!!!!

This Morning in the car with my father we had a discussion about Pluto, the now ex-planet. In the summer of 2006 i was gone for 8 weeks and when i cam back Pluto was no longer a planet. I was left in awe when all of a sudden Pluto was no longer a planet. Who has the power to change something that is. Even if someone does have that power to change Plutos status isn't it like a slap in the face to Clydde Tombaugh, the man who discoverred Pluto in 1930? I know technology has improved a lot since 1930 but maybe technology is just no good. When i had told my father that maybe tecchnology is bad he looked at me and kinda laughed. He said "before technology people looked at the horizen and thought that that was the end of the worldand it droped off the siide of the world. with out technology there would have been no exploration." This is very true but without the technological advancements for exploration colonization would neever have been a probblem. if the Europeans could not get to other cultures than possiblie they would not have stomped on the other cultures and then force their culture onto the people. My father was again laughed and then asked me the oh so very serious question, "well would you give up your Ipod?" i laughed and said come on dad this is just a hypothetical conversation.
