Should Pluto stay as a planet?

Yep. It's still there.
I think what brought this up is the fact they found several other "things" in the Kuiper Belt that are the size of Pluto or larger. Instead of adding all of them, they're changing the criteria which then knocks Pluto out of the status of "planet".
Kind of odd in that Pluto even has moons but so does Xena and EL61.

I think this is great it is an issue. I figured most dummies today would not know there was other planets out there if not for that comedy show a few years ago about the third rock from the sun. I am not a mathmatacian (heck I cant even spell it) but I remember reading about a mathmatical formula that indicated there should be a planet where Pluto is, and that is why it was found. I think this is just a temporary semantics issue, as in my field someone is getting published and seeking tenure. Damn scholars.
