“Oldmanriver” chooses the correct name for himself and his ideas.

As the song goes: “He don’t do nothin’/ He don’t say nothin’/He just keeps rollin’ along.” To where? Well, nowhere that is recognizable to anyone who cares to think and discuss in terms beyond unexamined, chest-beating slogans. We hear much from this sluggish, and brain polluted river about “most” Americans, “most” people, and “my” country. River, your Bold type, baldly reasoned arguments belong on bumper stickers, not in open discussions. In reasoned argument your blustering runs over the banks, creates some muddy false generalizations and then drys up and blows away.
