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

Petrol prices are comparatively cheap...


Someone in America, presumably, had done some arithmetics (in English of course), and show us that litre for litre, there are more outrageous prices than petrol. Fortunately, we do not need to use those in great quantities like petrol. He did not state that!

All these examples do NOT imply that petrol is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are. You will be really shocked by the last one (at least, I was)!!!

Think a liter of petrol at $1.60 is expensive?

This makes you think, and also puts things into perspective.

Can of Red Bull, 250ml, $2.95 ... $11.80 per litre!

Robitussin Cough Mixture, 200ml, $9.95 ..... $199.00 per litre!
L'Oreal Revitalift Day Cream, 50ml, $29.95 ...... $599.00 per litre!

Bundy Rum, 1250ml, $51.00 .... $40.80 per litre!

Visene Eye Drops, 15ml, $5.69 .... $379.00 per litre!

Britney Spears Fantasy Perfume, 50ml, $29 .... $580.00 per litre!

And this is the REAL KICKER.
Evian water, 375ml, $2.95 ...$7.86 per litre!
$7.86 for a litre of WATER!!
and the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is NAIVE!!)

Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap?
So they can hook you for the ink!!
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at, you won't believe it but it's true; $1,040 a litre.
$1040.00 A LITRE!!!
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Red Bull, Robitussin, L'Oreal or, God forbid, Printer Ink!!!!!

And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, your muffler will fall off!!

MORAL OF THE STORY IS, DO NOT COMPLAIN IF PETROL PRICE INCREASE!!!
