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

I don't know what got me into reviewing a book, and now I am expected to proof-read a draft for a new one. I am not a bibliophile like you, and therefore I cannot help feeling I am going into something I am least prepared!

I seem to be good at spotting obvious mistakes which most people would have spotted at first read, but to be relied on for making sure everything is correct seems a tall order. Wish I can push it to you!
