please excuse my scepticism about mother's day, it isn't the writing to one's mother to say happy mother's day that I find surreal. it is the notion that there is just one day when one should buy a card to acknowledge something that ought to be a daily sublimation. same with father's day. what about daughter's day, son's day?
it seems to my feverish mind that it is just another money making scheme by multi national card company's who then cut down the trees which they planted in what they call sustainable forests, but are really plantations which deprive local people of the arable land and agricultural availability to grow their own indigenous crops.
