Valentine’s Day Revisited.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Would you like to sign our petition? We’re trying to collect a million signatures in an effort to create a national holiday devoted to love. 

You say we already have Valentine’s Day? Well, we hate to be argumentative, but Valentine’s Day isn’t really a “holiday,” now, is it? (In our dictionary, a “holiday” is defined as “a festive time of no work; an officially sanctioned day of leisure and pleasure, usually devoted to a specific concept or celebration.”) 

We believe that Valentine’s day is, at best, a pseudo-holiday. Something that our culture pays lip-service to, but that we don’t really take seriously. You know, like those other “holidays” such as Flag Day, Arbor Day and Ground Hog Day. 

We believe that since most people hold “love” to be their highest value, there should be a special day of recognition devoted to it. You know, the way people value over-eating on Thanksgiving; and the way we pay homage to shopping on Christmas; and the way we celebrate explosives on the Fourth of July. Love should rank right up there, don’t you think?!?

So please consider signing our petition. You just might help change the world.
