Since humans observe April 22nd as 'Earth Day' why can't February 18th be declared 'Pluto Day'?

I'm getting a lotta flak asking questions pertaining to basic civil rights for the planet Pluto.





Just because a planet is presumed to be uninhabited doesn't give us license to bomb it or deny it of at least basic dignity.





We've bombed the moon and made incursions onto Mars. These are acts of war!





We owe it to Pluto to show it the dignity befitting a planet.





Even though we abuse our own planet, we at least set aside a day once a year to honor our home planet. We have been celebrating Earth Day on April 22nd since 1970.





February 18th 2010 will be the 80th anniversary of the planet Pluto's discovery by American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. We at least owe Pluto the courtesy of declaring February 18th as 'Pluto Day'.|||What's the point ? We don't even have a clear close-up picture of Pluto, not until New Horizons gets really close to it in 2015.


Although I have a feeling that I'm just feeding a troll, it's amusing that you mention "dignity befitting a planet". Yes we have an Earth Day because we live here...


Do you have a "Mercury Day" or "Venus Day" or any other days for the rest of the planets ?|||PLUTO RIGHTS! The whole solar system is watching! The whole solar system is watching!|||Lets start a facebook group!!! Even the Sun, saturn, and the moon have 52 to 53 days of their own every year (sunday, monday, saturday), and in other languages tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday, are mars, mercury, jupiter and venus-day respectively.





And all pluto got was a cartoon dog and a highly unstable radioactive element that serves no purpose but kill people and harness the power of the sun in it's name! no fair! :)
