Star Wars. Stop the Killing.

On Tuesday, August 2006, a group formerly known for scholarly musings and achievements turned into to deadly, cowardly terrorist organization.

The group's leaders were set on a proposal and mission of universal inclusion. But the majority seemed to think some were more equal than others. Of course, this majority waited until about three-fourths of the group had gone home before they turned there weapons on their small neighbor.

When the battle was over--it seems--they not only eliminated the outcasts but also themselves. The war was waged in the sky and everyone lost. The small, innocent pacifist was the first casualty. But then slowly everyone realized they doomed themselves and everyone on the neighborhood. Nine were turned into dust with the cast of a vote.

It seems this terrorist organization, International Astronomical Union, has constructed a weapon that leveled all in their path, and, with stupidity only seen in parodies, leveled all directions for what could amount to light years.

Unfortunately, with none of the 9 classical planets fitting the new tightened definition, we must search for a new world where planets remain items in the encyclopedia instead of the shredder.
