Chocolate

I had quite a few people take me to the woodshed yesterday for my remarks about <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/757-Fake-Holidays.html" target="_new">Valentines day</a>. The prevailing view was that I was a cad and should have bought my Darling Wife some flowers or chocolate candy. <br />n<br />n<blockquote>Before you pop that Valentine chocolate in your mouth, consider whether it could have been produced by child slaves, lawmakers said Monday in admonishing the chocolate industry for its pace in monitoring labor practices on West African cocoa farms.</blockquote><br />n<br />nBesides my Darling Wife not wanting chocalate, <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/15/build/nation/88-chocolate.inc" target="_new">this</a> is a real good reason not to have bought chocolate. <br />n<br />n<b>An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason.
