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

If you're not going to speak up, how is the world supposed to know you exist? “Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah.” - Ananta Prameodya Toer (Your intellect may soar to the sky but if you do not write, you will be lost from society and to history.)

Confucius says no confusion...

Just kidding because they sound quite alike. In the internet there are many quotes attributed to Confucius or Buddha, but I am sure not all are true. Just a convenient way of quoting something that could have been said by either of them. They were no longer around, so there is no way to know, unless you are a true scholar of Chinese Studies and the like. A number of friends forwarded the following 'wise saying' or rather wise crack to me, presumably for me to post it.

Fair or not

Woman asks:
If I sleep with 3 men, everyone calls me a slut. But when a man sleeps with 10 girls,
everyone calls him a real man. How come?

Man replies:
It's very simple. Confucius says 'When one lock can be opened by 3 different keys, it's a bad lock. But when one key can open 10 different locks, we call it a master key!
