At the time, people were very passionate on the decision, whose effect was to completely polarise opinion either for or against. Many displayed either tears or cheers!
As sometime has past since then, and things have simmered down, has your opinion changed of this "Pluto Demotion" controversy?
Did it change your world-view or was it merely another "proverbial drop in the ocean"? |
Oh yes - completely changed my world view: I now find I'm sleeping less, have become totally disenchanted with all those values I once held in high esteem and, quite frankly, becoming rather depressed and cynical to the point where I am thinking of burning my "Big Golden Book of Astronomy" - one of my AA heirlooms from 50 odd years ago. Please, is there anything I can do to pull myself out of this spiralling depression?
