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

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

Prophets of doom and contradictions of sorts

At a wedding dinner, a relation who is a devout Buddhist, said Goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin, said (through a medium) that next year, the world will face shortage in food, as in people have money but cannot buy rice, wheat and so on.

A few days ago, my friend forwarded an article, which I have yet to open, on Nostradamus’s prediction that a deadly virus will wipe out the world’s population by 2032.

In Britain, the climatic change had resulted in no White Christmas but snow in Spring!
While Santa Claus couldn’t take the heat, probably down under in Australia or New Zealand (actually meant to post a nude Santa but couldn’t find it in my file), we have fallen or unwanted angel feeling demoralised.








Meanwhile, in Malaysia, we have predictions that today, Anwar will announce something dramatic, that a few days later, Abdullah will face party revolt, if not, Pakatan Rakyat will move a motion of no confidence, and so on and so forth.

What can we do but sit tight, tighten our belt, and brave the unexpected?
