In the comments on Tom Maguire's coverage of a NY Times article on Section 8 housing and its effects on neighborhoods, Megaera mentions "The Iron Law of Bureaucracy in action (also known as Lady MacBeth's Rule): What's done cannot be undone."
So now we have two Iron Laws, Jerry Pournelle's and this one.
Hmm. Megaera, Meg; that name seems to ring a bell. I should give Hunter Hawk a call, one of these days.
