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

Government fed by the people

I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.

Extracts from letters written to local councils in Britain

Even British have problems with their language...
when complaining about their neighbours:

It's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow;
Their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence;
I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning at 6am his cock wakes me up and it's now getting too much for me;
The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous;
He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it any more;
I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man on top of me every night;

who are also poor in maths:

50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster, and 50% are just plain filthy;
Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now is in three pieces;

not sure what they were thinking of...

Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife;
I have had the clerk of works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction;

and confused too...

I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen;
My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?
This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we can't get BBC2;
I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall;
Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant;
My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it.
