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

Quiz to test your IQ, memory and other useful stuff...

necessary for managers and professionals?

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door.
This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator?
Wrong answer.
Correct answer: open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.
This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.
All the animals attend, except one. Which animal does not attend?
Correct answer: the Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there.
This tests your memory.
Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance...

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and
you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
Correct answer: you jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the animal meeting.
This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all the questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers.

Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brain of a four-year-old.

Comment: I thought the famous one is Andersen rather than Anderson. Anyway, the conclusion on the brain of a four-year-old could have been added on by sender of email; and what about logic? What if anyone was more concerned about whether it is possible to put a giraffe or elephant into a refrigerator?
