Why love your neighbor when you can sue him? A tiny, Florida-based charity called Love Thy Neighbor is being sued for trademark infringement by a Detroit entrepreneur whose enterprise goes by the name Love Your Neighbor.

Wonder how related the Ft. Lauderdale based Love Thy Neighbor charity is to the Love Your Neighbor Campaign in Miami/Dade Co., Florida. Of course, those Motown hooligans have registered it all...

Next they'll be after the Mission Carolina Love Your Neighbor Christian Prayer Coalition.

But should you really Love Your Neighbor as Yourself in the first place, or just Love Your Jewish Neighbor?

Since it's always so much fun, I don't think it should really matter all that much.

Techgnollogic, thanks for the link to overlawyered.com. It's a keeper. In regard to the law suit, I hope it is summarily dismissed. I personally deem it without merit, but, heh, I'm no lawyer.
