All I'm sayin'

I have decided to refuse to give Valentine's day any more thought than it deserves, which means that instead of my traditional lonely-person's rant against commercialism and false romance, I am simply going to mention that I find it ironic that Valentine's day started out as a holiday celebrating "Saint" Valentine's triumph over the druids. I LIKED the druids, and Valentine drove them out of their own country. And then, even more ironically, the holiday celebrating the suppression of pagan religion got tied up with some sort of fertility festival and now is a celebration of love, of all the bizarre things it could become. Humanity never ceases to amaze me. In a bad way.

And that's all I'm sayin' about THAT.
