I share because I love, Valentine's edition

It takes a poet to explain why Valentine's Day is more than Hallmark and expensive flowers, it's blood on the snow and celebration of love and joy, so stop poo-pooing it already: On Valentine's Day

Honestly, I think the author here is far too dismissive of some very important arguments about the holiday, playing them off as the whining of people who were maltreated in grade school. I have honest social and philosophical issues with the cancer this holiday has turned into, and I know a lot of people, many of whom are deeply in love and have been for a long time, who share them.

If it's all the same, I think I'll keep pooh-poohing.
