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

Facebook... might as well call it Faceless!

Many people in Facebook chose to go without his or her picture in their profile for obvious reasons. This seems to defeat the purpose of networking, especially in a situation when someone somewhere in another part of the world could be looking for us. It could be when we are looking for someone and there are many namesakes without pictures nor profiles which could be viewed unless already a friend. Frustrating indeed.

Perhaps, they should join another network called Faceless! Anyway, Bayi introduced me to Faceless, a cartoon strip with a difference...
