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

Religious 'kiasuism'

A friend forwarded to me this:

Did you get the message?

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the rascally behaviour that was going on. So he called one of his angels to go to Earth for a time. When he returned, he told God, 'Yes, it is bad on Earth: 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not.'

God thought for a moment and said, 'Maybe I had better send down another angel to get a second opinion.'

So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time, too. When the angel returned, he went to God and said, 'Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline: 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good.'

God was not pleased. So He decided to e-mail the 5% who were good, because He wanted to encourage them and give them a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what the e-mail said?

No?

Okay, just wondering. I didn't get one, either.
