i've realized....
Feb. 16th, 2007 09:35 amthat in my heart of hearts, i do not accept that pluto is not a planet. i think the difference between a "dwarf planet" and an ordinary planet is nit-picking, irrelevant semantics. i think the scientists are being stupid to make a whole 'nother category because it's smaller. i think it doesn't really matter and i feel jerked around for no good reason. it makes me mad.
but teachers everywhere have changed their curriculum.
i will probably be one of those old ladies insisting to my grandkids that there are 9 (or 10 if they find another) planets while my children fume.
i wonder what would happen to the world if scientists everywhere started believing something drastically different from everyone else, something more bizarre than evolution - and the public simply refused to believe them. what if the public was right? or neither were right?
good story premise?
