"It is best to be honest and truthful, to make the most of what we have, to be happy with simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong."
Laura Ingalls Wilder
"Making the best of things - a damn poor way of dealing with them. My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand."
Rose Wilder Lane

judge for yourself
I blogged in October about the "complaint" (which must be the legal term for "sue your ass and rob you blind") filed by Friendly Family Productions against the historical Little House on the Prairie site near Independence, Kansas, claiming "trademark infringement, unfair competition, and trademark dilution." Remember that the Little House on the Prairie site owners registered "Little House on the Prairie" as a trademark for certain types of merchandising years ago, and the Friendly family didn't seem to care until recently.
Shouldn't we care?
I've uploaded my copy of the 31 page initial complaint HERE. Consider it an early Christmas present.
What do you think? Shouldn't fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the LH books, the LHOP television show, and the heritage homesites be concerned, and shouldn't we be vocal in our concern? Isn't there enough Little House on the Prairie to go around?
