The blog is called ten percent because of what Kurt Vonnegut wrote when remembering Susan Sontag - She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction.-
And I'm writing it because I need the therapy and I lust for world domination.

I hope he tries boxing next… That’s a fight I’d pay Sky to watch!

While he’s not a boxer I’d like to see The Rock take on Rupert, no holds barred. Yes I would pay for that.
