  I think the sadder indictment is the statistic that 80% of books that are bought are never read/finished. 80% of books out there have never been fully read!

  The industry calls it the 80/20 rule. 80 percent of product produced for 20 percent of consumer.

  I could write a book, and just have the first two chapters done, and leave the rest empty. 80% of people will not complain. Imagine that... Either i been reading too much Ayn Rand, or mediocrity truly is prolific.

  I for one am THANKFUL for the 80% of chodes in the world today. The 80% that allows products to be economically viable enough to be produced for the 20% who give a shit. The 80% that allows the product to be cheap enough so that the 20% can utilise it.
