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

Stereo-typing Red Indians speaking English...

We were influenced by Lone Ranger and his partner, Tonto.

This reminds me of the story about the Big Chief who had problems with 'No shit', but after a dose of medicine from a travelling medicine man, they went after him asking why, 'Big shit, no Chief'!

This is a story of a Red Indian couple who just got married.

After six months, the wife has not conceived.

So the couple went to seek the help of the Red 'Chief' who is also the tribe's medicine man.

Indian said to the chief: "Many moons come, many moons go; I come, baby no come, how come?"

Chief to Indian: "Young man, go to the ninth mountain over there and come back after nine months".

After nine months the Indian came back to the village. He went to his wife and saw his wife carrying a baby. At once he pulled the wife to see the Chief.

He said to the Chief: "Many moons come, many moons go, I no come, baby come, how come?"

The Chief turned to the wife for an answer.

The wife said: "Many moons come, many moons go, you no come, many men come".
