thank you for your kind offer reinyday i accept admittedly i am very new to wikipedia and am learning as i go in my opinion this will eventually become the most comprehensive and definitive sweetest day article anywhere contrary to what many may think i am not anti sweetest day i simply believe americans have a right to know the real history of what they are celebrating when it comes to holidays the herbert birch kingston story of the origins of sweetest day is a verisimilitude meaning it is very similar to the truth but not the exact truth at all in fact the dissemination of this story by hallmark american greetings retail confectioners international and countless other promoters of sweetest day is a form of mass deception and market manipulation it has been going on for years and has resulted in billions of dollars in revenues for these companies but at what cost america pays the cost of sweetest day in credibility a trend which must be reversed if we are ever to win the hearts and minds of the world again please allow all images to remain in the article unless they do not comply with wikipedia standards more will be uploaded soon also please do not add any of the verisimilitudes currently used in the promotion of sweetest day unless they are characterized as such thank you again reinyday robb
