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

Churchill's retort to George Bernard's insult


Once, a famous dramatist George Bernard's play was being staged. He invited Sir Winston Churchill to watch the play. As a matter of courtesy, he sent in a cover with a note saying, "One ticket for you and the second one for your friend, if at all you have one friend indeed!"

Churchill sent him a rejoinder stating, "Due to pressing engagements, I will not be able to attend the show. Hence, please excuse me. If you send tickets for the second show of your play then I will surely come, if it ever runs for the second time!"
