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

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.)

'Wow' in a different context

Two weeks ago, our British guests related to us about an instance when they were in a taxi in Malaysia. The taximan asked where they were from and Stuart replied, 'UK.' and he exclaimed, 'Wow!' and said nothing after that. When they got off the taxi, Sarah exclaimed, 'Wow!' and presumably they had a hearty laugh over it. We enjoyed that joke.

But, last night's news over at BBC World News, the death of Libyan strongman for 42 years was highlighted repeatedly. One of the video clips was Hilary Clinton's response when shown on a cell phone, the pictures of the dead Gadafi... and her response? 'Wow!'
