Apparently, I'm now a shareholder in ... *gasp* ... Wal-Mart

    Yes, but that one share could eventually become many shares.

    Did you get one of those cool blue vests too?

    My brother had to attend a Wal-Mart shareholders coven, uh, meeting, in Fayetteville a few years ago as a representative of one of its providers and he said it was the strangest thing he'd ever seen in the corporate world. They even had to learn the Wal-Mart cheer.

    Yes, they have a corporate cheer.

    Does it contain the words "Hail Satan" and "fuck you all"?

    This isn't a bad idea. You'd make a great shareholders meeting gadfly judging by your work on the board.

    He didn't say. Direct sunlight bothered him for a few months when he got back though.

    That we haven't heard from Bubbler on this thread yet is one of the great upsets in SportsJournalists.com history.

    Just tell Gramps you are a Wal-Mart objector and ask him to refrain from "gifting" you this stock or to make a charitable donation in your name for the value of a share.

    If you guys are in the will for a chunk of these shares, ask to be removed.

    No need to get rich on something that you find distasteful.

    I'm honored that you'd compare me to Socrates.

    Doc, if you're a shareholder you can work to change Wal-Mart from the inside. Sure, one share doesn't give you much power. But it gives you a voice in the company that non-shareholders don't have.

    At least that's what I tell myself every Christmas when my wife's grandfather gives us shares.
