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

1 little, 2 little, 3 little words...

Just imagine, during the first day at school, your teacher tells you to learn 10 important words before everything else. The knowledge of the alphabet is presumed to have been acquired during pre-school in our present 'kiasu' world.

Just joking. I am affected by the authoritative know-all tone of the Powerpoint presentation from which I have transcribed the following:

The most selfish 1-letter word: I...Avoid it.

The most satisfying 2-letter word: We...Use it.

The most poisonous 3-letter word: Ego...Kill it.

The most used 4-letter word: Love...Value it.

The most pleasing 5-letter word: Smile...Keep it.

The fastest-spreading 6-letter word: Rumour...Ignore it.

The hard-working 7-letter word: Success...Achieve it.

The most enviable 8-letter word: Jealousy...Distance it.

The most Powerful 9-letter word: Knowledge...Acquire it.

The most Divine 10-letter word: Friendship...Maintain it.

I must admit, it was a piece of great work by the creator of the presentation. Pity I have yet to know how to upload such presentations.
