Considering how insightful and accurate this "law" is it's a pity it doesn't see more use in discussions. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 05:07, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

I've just spotted this and have to concur. It's very astute. Scarlet A.pngtheist 19:58, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A question

I know that the IIOI was coined to describe Pelosi's unwillingness to engage with anti-war protestors (the Washington consensus was still "stay the course," and so trying to do something deemed "radical" on Iraq would eat away at the Dems' big tent votes, which are a lot). But is the law somewhat pessimistic in the sense that the institution (whether good or bad) is so ingrained that any reform wouldn't be possible? Osaka Sun (talk) 00:44, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
