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

Lisa Kudrow - Commencement Address 2010

This morning, I clicked on to view Lisa Kudrow (better known as Phoebe in Friends, who appeared in my video sidebar provided by Youtube) for over 20 minutes! She was giving a speech at a graduation ceremony at her Alma mater where she had graduated 25 years ago.

She described in reasonable detail, her trials and tribulations when in her twenties, going through university studies and how she felt when she switched from Biology (her major) to acting! It was not plain sailing with a lot of disappointments and honest opinions thrown at her before she landed in a role in Friends.

I would recommend those in their twenties to watch and listen to her speech because like her, they would be going through many crossroads where decisions have to be made which would finally shape their destinies. In her own words, 'there is a reason for everything'! The best thing about her is her down to earth and positive attitude in life and her willingness to accept everything she did as good regardless of what others think!
