But, but, without Valentine's Day there would be no Cheap Chocolate Day (2/15)! Or the anti-Valentine's party, where any schmoopery will be met with a large black cock! Or people taking the time to think about how love deserves more than this hearts'n'flowers fest!

Like polyamory, Valentine's Day brings the worst of our most intimate relationships (or lack thereof) into sharp relief, both individually and as a culture. But it can also bring out the best, if the worst doesn't overwhelm us. That's why I want to focus on the good as well.

And in many ways, so do I. I hope this post does that to some degree and certainly points out the kindred spirits.
