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

Hotel Nord, Paris: July 23

Unlike Hotel Viator, Nord is just opposite Paris Gare de Nord (or Paris North Station). Nee felt ideally we should have skipped a night in Paris and gone back to UK from Brussels instead. But I can understand the problems faced by Beng when planning our itinerary. For Eurostar, it seems it is cheaper to book return on a longer trip than two singles on a shorter trip. We actually had return tickets from Waterloo to Paris but we ended up getting off at Ashford on our return, to suit our car rental arrangement which was to collect car at Ashford and return it at Heathrow.

Beng was spot on when we arrived Ashford to sort out the booking he made with Avis. As soon as I had discussed with the lady, he was there, having came straight from work.
