NOT using the panel discussions of the most
recent World Science Fiction Convention in Kansas City in August 2016 (to which
I was invited and had a friend pay my membership! [Thanks, Paul!] but was
unable to go (until I retire from education)), I will jump off, jump on, rail
against, and shamelessly agree with the BRIEF DESCRIPTION given in the pdf copy
of the Program Guide. But not today.
This morning is a Christmas blessing – I am
unabashedly a Christian who also writes science fiction…
That right there
is incredibly irritating to some people both in and out of the SF field. It
also signals others that because I’m a Christian, I must have voted for Trump…which
I didn’t. (For the first time in my life, I refused to vote – because most of
the candidates in the elections from national to local were, regardless of
party orientation; rude, obnoxious, and didn’t in most ways represent me or my
political views. So, I skipped the entire process. There. That’s all of the
political rhetoric you’ll hear from me. Thank you.)
No matter your
faith then, I wish you a blessed Christmas Season! Please accept the sentiment
in the spirit in which it was given – as a good thought.
