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

Some obscure laws relating to sex...

wonder how they got into the statute books!:

In Romboch (VA), it is illegal to engage in sexual activity with the lights on.
(relevant now with the possibility of hidden cameras)

In hotels in Sioux Falls (SD), every room is required to have twin beds. The beds must always be at least two feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it is illegal to make love on the floor between the beds.
(an insult to bed manufacturers?)

In Alexandria (MN), no man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic, onions or sardines on his breath. If his wife so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.
(no problem where there is no kissing?)

In Los Angeles (CA), a man is legally entitled to beat his wife with a leather belt or strap, but the belt can’t be wider than 2 inches, unless he has his wife’s consent to beat her with a wider strap.
(a haven for sadist-masochist relationships)

In Ames (IA), it is illegal for a husband to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with his wife – holding her in his arms.
(be more focus mah, what an insult to the poor wife)

In Washington, D.C., the only acceptable sexual position is the missionary position.
(I bet many offenders but how would they know?)

In Newcastle (WY), it is illegal for couples to have sex while standing inside a store’s walk-in meat freezer.
(must be due to many people feeling hot)

In Detroit (MI), it is illegal for couples to make love in an automobile unless the act takes place while the vehicle is parked on the couple’s own property.
(must be kinky otherwise, if on own property, is there a necessity for that?)

In London, it is illegal to have sex on a parked motorcycle.
(because it can be seen and will offend others?)
