GUEST,Jay Cadillac Info & stories about John Greenway (30) RE: John Greenway 19 Mar 11


Even 30-plus years later I still have so many of Greenway's maxims imbedded in my brain, witticisms and truisms (he hated the word "truism") that slammed into my young CU student's skull and stuck.
Like, "the purpose of religion is to make people behave."
Like, "morality is whatever conduces to the survival of the group."
Like, "stout fences make for brave dogs."
At the time I didn't fully appreciate his brilliance, but still I loved the man. I loved his wit, his intelligence, his guitar, his slide shows that comprised the bulk of his anthropology lectures before hundreds of young skulls.
I will never forgive the leftwing establishment at CU-Boulder for persecuting the man because he dared to think differently than they.
Rest in peace, my good professor.
