Walmart is associated with a co-op? Color me shocked and surprised. The company's origins were relatively modest--if a little too faux folksy for my taste.

Sadly, the "greed is good" direction of finance leads me to believe we've got more bad times ahead before we hopefully wise up as a people. I've shopped a handful of co-ops--most a little too hippy-dippy for their own good. But I did feel like my money was staying in the community and made me happy to be a part of other's success. Not just some. unhuman/inhuman corporation. :-p Cheers!
