This holiday is just wrong.
It causes people to be stressed, lowers self-esteem, and is overly-commercialized. Why do we have to be reminded, brainwashed, deluded, deceived, and misled through popular culture, media, and the market to tell people we like them?

Why do we put people in relationships under stress, for buying gifts, and remembering, and why do we hurt the relationships of those who don't have a good memory? Why do we force people to be ungrateful?

Why do we put singles under stress, for being alone, and losing their confidence, and why do we mock them when we see them with valentines from their mothers? Why do we encourage opposite gender valentines? Are we only capable of  platonic love?

Why don't we have an Acquaintances Day or an Enjoy Clean Water Day, or Photosynthesizing Plant Appreciation Day?

Lots of krabby patties,
