Unethical

Norway dumps Wal-Mart stock
The huge fund that's meant to preserve Norway's oil wealth for future generations is pulling out of shares that don't meet the government's ethical standards. Among them is the Wal-Mart discount store chain.

Let's look at that again-- The government's ethical standards are not met by Wal*Mart. It's a sad day when a government is more ethical than a department store.

Well, government-owned fund. This is a case of state-owned capitalism, with ethical rules set by the parliament.
