That's ridiculously dismissive and just smacks of sour grapes.

Are many looking to read what the Waltons say?

No, this isn't wealth worship. The reason why people pay attention to folks like PG and Buffet is because they've repeatedly proven to have useful insights. Does that mean everything they say is of great value? Of course not. But their batting average is strong and they offer a lot of free wisdom. It's a good idea to learn from those who have things to teach, and Paul is a good teacher.

Have you ever been inside a Business College?

I'd be surprised and suspicious of those colleges if they're teaching based on the Walton heirs... Sam would be a different story, but wasn't who I was referring to with the present tense of "Waltons say".

Why, do they worship the Waltons of today? Or do they focus on Sam Walton and Walmart itself?
