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

Looking for the Perfect Match

I don't think there is a perfect match for a couple because it involves perfect mutual admiration in all aspects.

The Perfect Girl
A friend asked a gentleman how it is that he never married.
Replied the gentleman, "Well, I guess I just never met the right woman ... I guess I've been looking for the perfect girl."
"Oh, come on now," said the friend, "Surely you have met at least one girl that you wanted to marry."
"Yes, there was one girl once. I guess she was the one perfect girl, the only perfect girl I really ever met. She was just the right everything. I really mean that she was the perfect girl for me."
"Well, why didn't you marry her," asked the friend.
"She was looking for the perfect man," he said.

From a practical viewpoint, a man might rate a girl 5 out of 10 while the girl might rate him 8 out of 10. This leads to the following advice on relationship:
Don’t let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in his or her life.
It is easier said than done, especially when you are hooked on the person. Unrequited love is quite common.

Besides physical features, personal traits, views and other important aspects, there are problems of long hours of work, work pressure and stress, periods of separation because of different locations and so on, which affect a serious relationship. There might be differences in religion as well as the dislike of some future in-laws too! The list is endless. It is a wonder how so many people got married!
