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

A little knowledge of English can be dangerous...

Relax was travelling in a crowded bus. He was carrying the passport-sized photograph of his son for college admission. Accidentally, the photograph dropped down from his pocket. He started searching for it frantically and found it on the floorboard below the ends of a woman's saree.

He asked her, "Can you lift your saree? I wanna take photograph"....
He was beaten so badly that he had to be admitted to hospital.

In the hospital, he was suprised to see Jaq on the next bed to him in a worse condition. Jaq explained what happened to him.

He had gone to a remote village to work. He finished late and missed the last bus. He could not find any hotel nearby. So he approached a nearby house and asked the owner whether he can stay there for a night.

The owner replied, "I have 2 grown-up daughters. Sorry, you can't stay here".

Then he approached the next house and asked the owner whether he can stay there for a night. The owner replied, "I have 3 grown-up daughters. Sorry you can't stay here."

He went to the next house and asked, "Do you have grown-up daughters?"

The owner asked "Why?"...

Jaq replied, "I want to stay for a night..."

Surely, you don't expect the owner to say, "Welcome to the Hotel California..."
