Get the homeless person's law mug.The Italian sociologist living in the early 20th Century observed that the distribution of wealth and income remains roughly the same in modern industrialized societies no matter what governmental policies are pursued. A corollary of the Iron Law is the "circulation of elites" where groups vie to be the dominant group under various guises including equality and social justice, but there is always an elite no matter what.
Liberal elitist humanitarian: Let's pass legislation to make a more equal, fairer society.
Conservative realist: That will get us no where except you leftists will be in power rather than us. There is the brutal fact of Pareto's Iron Law. We cannot escape inequality of result.
Liberal elitist humanitarian: Well, I know, but at least we will be ahead of you conservatives. We hate you because you do not love everyone as we leftists do.

Get the Pareto's Iron Law mug.n. A couple (male and female) living together without the benefits of clergy. The union is legal as if a ceremony had been performed by a clergyman or a JP. It is unlawful if the couple ever pass themselves off as Mr. or Mrs. or if the female signs something with the prefix Mrs.
Tyrone and Brie Ann are good examples. They live together by common law so they can get all of the perks of the American system: free kids, free food via food stamps, health care, Pell grants for education, project housing, etc.
Tyrone is absent most of the time because he has three other women with whom he lives under similar arrangements. Tyrone's bitches are making a goodly income even if Brie Ann's quints are surrogate and somebody else got the government stipend. Brie Ann comes up missing periodically and it is not clear if there are other men in her life.

Get the common law marriage mug.Godwin's fourth law is a term created by Godwin fans, not mr. Godwin himself. The term means that the longer you talk with a conservative, the more likely he is to bring cops and soldiers into the discussion, and compare them with the currently debated subject, even if the comparison seems outright impossible or not making any sense at all.
I was talking with John the other day, about these poor abandoned cats at the animal shelter. The guy invoked Godwin's fourth law and said that soldiers aren't treated any better when they come back home. It's hard to understand him sometimes.
