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

Summer kisses winter tears

Don't ask me why I chose this song title for my post. The first time I heard this song was at my second brother's then girl friend's house, circa 1960 which was almost 50 years ago!

Their love story started when she was ill in hospital and he visited her. My late brother used to joke about how he bought a Blaupunkt (German for Blue Spot) transistor radio for her which ended up in their own house when they got married.

Other than the seasons, there is no connection with the title and this joke:

After his exam the doctor asks his elderly patient, 'You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?'

'In fact I do,' says the old man. 'After I have sex with my wife, I am usually hot and sweaty, and then when after I have it with her the second time, I am usually cold and shivery.'

The doctor then examines his elderly wife, then asks her, 'Everything appears to be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?'

The lady replies that she has no questions or concerns.

The doctor then asks her, 'Your husband has an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually hot and sweaty after having sex with you the first time, and then cold and shivery after the second time. Do you have any idea why that may be so?'

'Oh that!' she exclaims. 'That's because the first time is usually in July and the second time is in January!'
