BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO that, as Pluto passes overhead through New Mexico's excellent night skies, it be declared a planet and that March 13, 2007 be declared "Pluto Planet Day" at the legislature
"RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that as Pluto passes overhead through Illinois’ night skies, that it be reestablished with full planetary status, and that March 13, 2009 be declared "Pluto Day" in the State of Illinois in honor of the date its discovery was announced in 1930."

In one view, these objects are what we call them. We use words to do it, and we own the words. In that sense, Pluto is affected, because she's magical -- and name-magic is among the most powerful magics around.

As far as I'm concerned, there are many more than 9 planets in the Solar System.)

Crescent Pulsar wrote:There's just one problem with that. We "own" the words, but that which "owns" us, by extension, has the right to deny us the right to "own" them. The question becomes: who holds ultimate sway? The people who created the words, or what created the people and made it possible for them to create the words in the first place?

Well, given that One of the most important aspects of a civilization is a language I would that words are such an intrinsic part of humans.
