Former Professor of Mine Pens Editorial

I was about to leave San Antonio today after a long holiday visit. I flip to the editorial page of the San Antonio Express-News, and there before me an editorial by my "old" (maybe that should be "former") economics professor Cyril (Cy) Morong from my San Antonio College days. Aside from it just being kinda cool to see a former professor write in the newspaper, it also happens to be a good editorial.

Cy was a very interesting teacher, and I recall taking his class over a summer period, which means the class moved quickly, and many times did not lend itself to the thoughtful discussion that economics classes used to be about. We had a textbook for Cy's class, but we also had a supplemental reader, and I still own my copy and I still read it. In fact, the opening of the book will be featured as part of something else I am working on this year...more on that later.

Here is the editorial from this mornings paper:
