You're only encouraging it

quislibetI say this without singling anyone out, for it is ubiquitous:
Maybe it's just the social circles I've run in most of my life, but I've always found Valentine's-Day-Hating much more tedious than the Oppressive Propaganda of the Greeting Card Industry; it's harder to tune out, for one thing.
Just don't acknowledge the day if you hate it! (Easier said than done? Well, even with an awareness of the date and an inundation of advertising, I still almost forgot it was today.)
Letting Valentine's Day get to you is as illogical as celebrating "Holy-ween" or squashing civil liberties in the name of protecting freedom. You're letting the terrorists win.
If you must focus on the day, then think of the post-holiday candy sales that start tomorrow. But too bad it's all Russell Stover crap.

Fanboy addendum, moments later: I wonder why "Angel" didn't deal with Valentine's Day. Isn't that one of Angelus's fave holidays for mayhem?
