Just read all of Part I and really got pulled into it.

I think one of the passages I like the best is this one because it made me think about the motives and what we really know about them:

"They were a powerful force in Iraq, but they were like shadows behind a curtain. We could see broad outlines, but were left to guess at who they really were, how they think, and what motivates them."

Looks like science class is going to change the planets again.
If everyone is different, then no one is the same. With no definition of the normal, aren't we all insane?

actually, the larger argument right now is whether to stop calling Pluto a planet. I understand that they're supposed to make a final decision this month on that.

If the resolution is approved, the 12 planets in our solar system listed in order of their proximity to the sun would be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, and the provisionally named 2003 UB313. Its discoverer, Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology, nicknamed it Xena after the warrior princess of TV fame, but it likely would be rechristened something else later, the panel said.

I think we should most definitely have a planet named Xena.
