I am glad to have a hits counter when my previous blog posting was mentioned in Malaysiakini in Blogs, as I could note the difference - about 700 hits in a day! Since last night, I noticed an increase of over 100 hits. The number of hits would drop as soon as my post is pushed off by newer ones by others.
Besides the popularity of the blogger, the number of hits also depends on the subject matter. The usual ones will be the friends who visit to find out what's cooking in his mind. The habitual surfers who visit a few times a day make some difference.
Unusual circumstances relating to someone already well known, like in Po Kuan's dilemma just before General Elections, saw over a thousand comments alone in her Chamber of Thoughts! I can imagine the number of hits must be at least tens of thousand.
As Confucius said, 'Journey of a thousand miles begin with the first step', I shall plod on until I achieve a million! Something to work on for someone like me.
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
