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

Destiny in a name...

What is the hardest thing to break?

Diamonds are hard to find but not hard to break. What is the hardest thing to break then?

The answer is: HABIT

If you break the H, you still have A BIT.
If you break the A, you still have BIT.
If you break the B, you still have IT!
Hey, after you break the T in IT, there is still the 'I'.
The person at the end of the day, is the root of all the problems.
Now, I know why HABIT is so hard to break. Its destiny is in its name. The word itself.

The Chinese always believed in the significance of one's name. They have developed a very comprehensive system of naming one's children as it is believed that the name of a person strongly influences one's destiny and fate.

Astrologers, fortune tellers, academics and monks are consulted when choosing a name for the new born. The other cultures, however do not really believe in it and tend to brush it off as superstition.

Whether you believe it or not, however, the other cultures are not spared of this correlation.

For example, the Chinese surname LEE (or LI) is associated with power and success such as Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Teng Hui (former Taiwan President), Li Peng ( China 's ex PM), Li Ka Shing (HK tycoon) and LEE Iacocca - once Chrysler's chief, and Lee Van Cliff, the actor.

One very good example is Lee Iacocca, whose last name IACOCCA
stands for:
I Am Chairman Of Chrysler Corporation America
Coincidence? ...

Look at the following familiar examples:
MAHATHIR ( Malaysia 's PM): My Assets Halved After The Hit In Ringgit !

SUHARTO (Ex president of Indonesia): Should U Have Additional Rupiahs, Throw Out!

BUSH (Ex American President) : Beat Up Saddam Hussein !

However, no one can beat this latest casualty in bad naming :
OSAMA: Oh Shit, American Missiles Again!!!

Convinced? Take it with a pinch of salt!
