How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Nipped in the bud

A guy who had spent his whole life in the desert came to visit his friend.

He'd never seen a train or the tracks they run on. While investigating the area around his friend's house he came across some railway tracks and started walking along them. He heard a whistle "Whoo! Whoo!" but had no idea what it was. Predictably, he was hit. Luckily it was only a glancing blow, but he was knocked to the side of the tracks, with some minor internal injuries, a few broken bones, and some bruises.

After weeks in the hospital recovering, he went back to his friend's house who threw a "Welcome Home" party for him. While in the kitchen, he suddenly heard the kettle whistling. He grabbed a baseball bat from the nearby closet and proceeded to batter and bash the kettle into an unrecognizable lump of metal.

His friend, hearing the noise, rushed into the kitchen, saw what had happened and asked the desert man, "Why'd you ruin my kettle?"

"Man," replied the desert man "you gotta kill these things when they're young."
