You have my permission, as long as you only invest in companies whos CEO makes less than or equal to what you think is reasonable.

The fact that you will make MUCH LESS on your stock holdings will be a small price to pay for being true to your moral superiority!

Your logic seems to go like this:
- Said finds X obscene and dislikes it
- With this point of view Said sees himself to be morally superior
- To be true to that superiority consequently Said must stay away from X

Where exactly did I claim "superiority"?
Where did I say more than finding X obscene and disliking it?
Why does that result in being forbidden to participate in things where I do not agree with all aspects --- as we all do dozens of times per week in our daily lives, doing things we dislike?

Life is not a coder´s wet dream, is not binary, 0 or 1.
