The Oxometer was invented about 1930 by a friend of Albert Jay Nock.  Nock wrote about it in his book The State of the Union.  It is really a simple device and in our time we need it more than ever.   The Oxometer is a devise for detecting and separating “bull’ from the solid substance of discourse.

If it worked and we could shovel into the Oxometer the current political dialogue we would have no shortage of fertilizer pouring out.
