Governments just make win-win deals more difficult, as there is always someone that thinks they can make the deal better...by inserting themselves as the middleman. Because there is nothing so angered as a government agent that can't figure out a way to f**K things up. And they will always try.
I've read Bill's book, "Un-Civilizing America...". This excerpt is a decent indication of the best parts of it. While I think Bill goes off the rails in this book on occasion, in general, I would say it is a good read. My only issue with Bill's thought process is that he only digs down so far. He stops at Win-Win vs. Win-Lose deals. That, in and of itself, is not bad. But he never gets to the point where he states explicitly, at least from what I recall, either in his daily columns or in his book which is much better than his daily columns, that individual rights is the fundamental concept that differentiates Win-Win vs. Win-Lose deals. Without a respect for individual rights, Win-Win deals do not exist. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution are predominately a defense of individual rights. They are mostly being ignored today and that is the cause of our decline.
Bill, The year 450 ce that you wrote in the article is 450 AD. Only modern wokists use ce. Please correct it for your readers; especially for your Christian readers.
Would you label Attila a "Person?" Not unless you were infected by some "woke" germ or other semantically crippling disease.
Just as "win-win" arrangements are intended to signify an equal exchange of value, grammatical rules are useful in transmitting information.
Can you visualize Attila or Genghis as a "female person" rampaging and raping across the civilized world? Even Catherine the Great appeared to have used her toy-boys sequentially and often for political gain.
With a deal man to man it is,or it should be a win win. If the government knows about that deal it’s a win win win win , two extra shares for the government ( and growing ).If the deal is Living God to man it’s a win win, both wins are for man because God gives us life and life eternal by way of Jesus the Christ. Man really has nothing to offer in comparison but MUST receive the gift because a gift is not a gift until It’s received. Once that gift is received the result should be thankfulness and the desire to share the gift so others can win as well.
Hi Mr Bonner. Have you heard David Webb's thoughts on how the market is undergoing a controlled demolition and securities can be taken based on laws enacted in years past. Wonder if this is credible.
I am sorry Bill, you lost me at the end. Atilla was widely esteemed for killing and robbing in 450ce. At the very least today he would be unwelcome but exceptional. You lost me. But I am all in with only crooks and cads, i.e. our government operates on the uncivilized model. It is exceptionally unwelcome. Happy New Year! r
In Bill's final paragraph today, we read that the "world's richest generally make their money by producing wealth rather than stealing it." Glad he said generally. I'm thinking of the VERY rich, the ones whose wealth multiplied by squillions during the pandemic. Or the various world leaders who wallow in wealth. All the while millions of ordinary men and women lose homes and businesses.
“there can be no progress, only an unending struggle with our own nature.”
That’s more like it. But lots of Peter Principled don’t have struggle, or principle, in their natures.
Stare decisis means “to follow precedent” but what when the burgeoning aim is always, seemingly sho’ nuf, to ease on in with some bad precedent?
When casts are applied to set & stabilize broken bones, the plaster is laid down in layers … & while the bone-fist neath the velvet-flesh gets stronger, the musculature atrophies. Its a falling down (remember that Michael Douglas flick?) the stairs process, & the chess & go players “decided” to play long against all the short time preference facts checkers playeds.
Works in Shakespeare & the Don Henley lyrics, but not so far anywhere else:
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
Because laws are discovered, not invented. Frankenstein takes, as in steals, liberties with nature & vernacular: legalities & rules, written by those who are to skim economic rents & other perquisites & emoluments thereby, are not laws.
And offering “Wait! There’s more!” Ronco shortcuts to the Short People Randy Newman sang-described (Little Criminals album, 1977) is smooth seduction trap-bait that does them no favors. But the shorts can’t help borrowing all that stock in trade from the (bone)brokers, much as Wimpy can’t resist borrowing a burger today on a promissory note to pay it back next Tuesday.
Remember Jim Varney? “Know what I mean Vern/acular?” The Ernest P. Worrell success story was an emergent (horse) success story, not a collective (cart) one. And “civilized” puts the polish & elbow grease to “domesticated” (neutered, atrophied, vestigialized, etc).
And one of those world’s richest says what all of them believe: “Competition is for losers.”
Step right up, folks, get your free legal shortcuts right here!
"10% for the 'Big Guy'!" I get it; we're living the joke. Happy New Year, everybody. Best always. PM

I appreciate Bill associating win-win with the Golden Rule. That really is the basis for all fair, just and honest exchanges.
