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

Why some people prefers to work alone...

I know of a friend who used to work alone within a department. Any work assigned to him would be done with as soon as possible, and if necessary, he would take the work home to finish it. Naturally, he would be given more work and that's how some people could get away from doing less or almost no work.

But I think it has to do with his personality that he prefers to do almost everything himself instead of delegating to others. Such people are likely to have this perception that by the time I teach him how to do it, I could have done it in half that time, the way it should be or more important, the way I want it.

On the other hand, there are others who are experts at delegating work to others. Such people should be able to work as a team with the doer. But in the long run, I don't think it is healthy for the doer to accept more and more work because of the hidden stress factor which could affect his health. I wonder which is worse: he taking on more work or if he were to delegate to someone else...
