Where have ethics and decency gone?
I really shouldn't be as bothered by this as I am. But this really rubs the wrong way. In-n-Out Burger, which I highly enjoy is suing a restaurant in UT County, American Fork specifically. How did these people not think they were going to get sued? I am still unclear if there is only one facility or 2-3(Chadders). However, anyone who has been to In-n-Out in 5 years can see the striking similarities. These are not the similarities one finds between McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and the like. No, these are glaring similarities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsZ61RJLngs. Once again someone in Happy Valley thought they could violate intellectual property protections without asking for permission or other appropriate avenues. Why does this always happen in American Fork? I know great people there, and this reflects badly on them, badly on Utah Valley and badly on Utah in general. Regardless of how the lawsuit goes, this is a slap in the face for all the ethics classes taught in universities throughout the country.

Have heard about this on the news and such but since I haven't been to either place, I don't really have much knowledge about the whole situation.
Sometimes though, I think people, all over, not just in "happy valley" have an idea, get going with it and then, when it's all done, realize that it is WAY too much like something that is already established. I'm positive that there are people out there that have NO ethics at all, but sometimes I think people just make BIG mistakes. (I don't know what the case is here!) Plus, I'm sure that this sort of thing happens everywhere, you are just more aware of the "Happy Valley" instances since you have friends and family there.
Anyway...those are my thoughts! Sure you would like to hear from you!
