"And, show it or not, every guy knows what love is: Love is writing your girlfriend a sweet letter, and mailing it. Love is knowing her favorite candy bar, and keeping her stocked. Love is waking up before her 8 a.m. class to cook breakfast. Love is roses, because it's Thursday. No, love is not Valentine's Day. Love is not needing Valentine's Day". (Ctrl+C, V'ed from Philosofickle)

A different prespective I should say and the one I would mostly agree with...Especially the last sentences.....I may be an idealogue, but then I like it that way....There is no issue in celebrating Valentine's day....Infact even I had made a post wishing people on Valentine's Day....the problem is when Love starts and ends with it...When Valentine's Day is seen as the ultimate symbol of Love and the beauty is lost at the symbolism of sending cards, chocolates and a teady bear, as a ritual....NO, I am not against giving teady bear...but make sure that it stays for life and doesn't get torn apart the next day....
BTW, all these are rantings after a rather highly informative post....
