Judging Murray by his looks

There is a picture of the banking bigshot Terrence
   Murray on page 1 of today's Business section.
     He was reported to be absent from a meeting of
   community activists who accuse his bank of" abandoning
   minority and low-income borrowers ... "
      To be sure, poverty is not profitable and banks in
   general are not in the charity business.
       Nevertheless, banks operating with a sense of decency
    can improve the lives of nearly desperate people.
       Let me ask a naive question: Is a sense of decency
     written on a man's face ?
         If so, then Terrence Murray has a major public
    relations problem.
       Not a few people I know have mentioned his remarkable
     resemblence to a barn yard PIG !
         Anyway pigs have a reputation for being SMART.
     In George Orwell's " Animal Farm " they took over
     after the REVOLUTION:
         " All animals are equal but some animals are more
     equal than others. "

         Does Murray ever read a book that challenges
       the sacred principle of capitalist profit ?
