10 – 80 – 10 Rule
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
There is what I call the Theory of Political One Thirds. No matter what you propose 1/3 of the people will be with you, 1/3 will be opposed and 1/3 won’t care one way or another.
We have a mining issue in Wisconsin.  Here is a WPR article reporting on a Public Hearing on this issue. I have been following this issue quite closely myself. My findings would mirror those stated by  Iron County Development Zone Director Dale Kupcyck , “You’ve got this 10% who want it no matter what it costs, probably 10% who don’t want it no matter what. But you’ve got 80% who are willing to work with the state and say yes, if we can do it cleanly, let’s do it.”
My question without a good answer is … if 80% want it if it  is done right, why can’t we do it right and get it done?

Actually, the answer is pretty simple, Its because of the 10% who don’t want it no matter what. For some reason, the minority view towards anything in this country RULES. Can’t offend or upset anyone you know. Thats how I see it.
