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

Recession? What recession?

A friend forwarded to me this:

Employee Kidnapped from Home and Forced to Work by Manager

I've never been in the restaurant business, so I never really knew how hardcore they are about coming into work. Not sure if the economy is so bad that you'd continue to work for a manager who kidnapped you from home and forced you to go to work, but I'm glad I don't have to worry about such things.

The victim reported it to the police even though the manager threatened "he would end up dead somewhere" if the police got involved. I wonder why the guy didn't go to work that day; if he called in sick, was on vacation, or just decided to skip it. I'd also like to know what the manager's response was.

"A Buffalo man told police two men, including his manager, forced him from his home Friday evening and drove him to the restaurant where he works and told him to clean grease off a Dumpster.

The man, who lives off Hertel Avenue, said the pair forced their way into his bedroom by kicking open the door.
He also told police when he was done the manager gave him his paycheck and instructed him not to go to the police or "he would end up dead somewhere."

The victim, who also had his cell phone taken, reported the incident to police Saturday."
