Hallmark is cleverly cashing in on the sales of Valentines Day greeting cards. The same with people who sell flowers, Candy and cute cuddly bears. They all do this under the guise of something called Love. Anti-Valentine's Day PageHmm a bit bitter are we?The primary motive behind Valentines is MONEY. And plenty of it!

Can't say the same thing for our dimwit president.Atrios had a good post actually related to Bush's National Guard stunt In Secretary of State Colin Powell's autobiography, My American Journey, he says, "I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed managed to wangle slots in the Army Reserve and National Guard units... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country." As a Purple Heart veteran and former infantryman in South Korea in 1950 with orders to "hold or die," I assure you that no Vietnam War coward who makes it to the White House and the title "Mr. President" will ever have my respect, let alone honor.

VintageViews is an online presentation of my Vintage Postcard Collection. Postcard collecting offers a vast range of topics to collect. My interest in architecture, history, and science provides some focus to what I collect, but an interesting new card has often started my collection in a new direction. As much as I'd like to, I can't narrow my collecting to a single well defined topic. Vintage ViewsSome amazing vintage postcards are here.
