Previously, I posted various reasons why I dislike the month of February. Today, my friend Amie posted a blog at Southern Fried Chicas advocating the boycott of Valentine's Day (VD for short). I must say..."Why didn't I think of it first?" There are some great comments on the topic. Go check 'em out.
In a way, VD is very similar to the disease. It started out as a small idea (a virus imposed by a greeting card company) that has spread commercialism among seemingly smart developed, and some not so developed, countries. Capitalism at its best, I suppose.
I suggest that the World Health Organization work on development of a containment strategy. Especially since the spread of VD hasn't managed to instill more love in the world.
