Sam Walton's biography

Sam is one of those hated Southerners now. Probably grew up playing the Banjo on "Deliverence."

Any firm that refers to their employees as "Associates," is on the Union hit list. I passed a resturant conversion here in Waikiki to "Cheeseburger in Paradise" yesterday, and they had employment ads all over the front calling for "superstars."

Wal-mart needs to get Sam Walton's biography out in circulation, like the History channel biopic on Wal-mart. I think people tend to be more sympathetic to an organization if they associate it with the pulled-up-by-own-bootstraps founder. It "personalizes" the business.

History Channel maybe. But, I doubt you'll see Matt Lauer run a segment on Walton on his Headliners & Legends show on MSNBC.
