When people worldwide say "Maybe we should let them have Sharia law in their neighborhoods..."

...please remember this can happen, and is about to happen, as the president of Afghanistan does not intend to intervene. Are you listening, Tony Blair?

Afghan on trial for Christianity

"An Afghan man is being tried in a court in the capital, Kabul, for converting from Islam to Christianity.

Abdul Rahman is charged with rejecting Islam and could face the death sentence under Sharia law unless he recants."

Yes, at this point I am still planning on going. No, not positive what I'm on for paneling, because I'm scheduled for a mess of things I know nothing about, and also five hours straight on Saturday, which is not happening because if I don't eat a meal I fall over. I think I will make the late night panels Friday and Saturday. Otherwise, we'll see what the programming head was thinking. H/She was not reading the sheet I sent them, obviously.

UPDATE: Well, there's nothing like a 180 late at night. I had six hours of *&^% yesterday, making mistakes that could have gotten me killed on the highway, before calm returned and I got a full day's work done in three hours. I can't do a convention like that, and I'm still trying to make sure I have my meds by the end of next week, at least. They're talking an eight day turn-around, so I will need a short extension of the other drug, which I perceive as less effective. I just pray this doesn't mean another month of the less effective drug.

I hate this. Especially since I know Ardath Mayhar had to cancel for health reasons, and rachelcaine for deadline reasons. Fortunately, Aggiecon usually has a nice crop of regional writers, as well as Todd McCaffrey and Steven Brust, I believe.

So y'all go and have fun for us!
