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

One version of the origin of the Ten Commandments

God went to the Arabs and said,
'I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better. '

The Arabs asked, 'What are Commandments? Can you give us an example?'

God said, 'For example .......... Thou shall not kill.'

The Arabs were shocked, 'What? Not kill? No way! Killing and massacring innocent people is our birth-right and the only reason for our existence. No, we are not interested.'

So God went to the Africans and said, 'I have Commandments. '

The Africans wanted an example.

God said, 'For example ... Honour thy Father and Mother.'

The Africans were dismayed. They said, 'Father? Yo maan! Can't tell for sure who our fathers are, maan!'

So God went to the Mexicans and said, 'I have Commandments. '

The Mexicans wanted an example.

God said, 'For example ... Thou shall not steal.'

The Mexicans were flabbergasted. They said, 'No steal? No steal?? Hey Senor, we no steal then how we live, huh? Gracias, but no!'

So God went to the French and said, 'I have Commandments. '

The French wanted an example.

God said, 'For example ... Thou shall not commit adultery.'

The French were stunned. They said, 'What? Not commit ze adultery ....... ? Non, non, non. Non Monsieur. Pardonnez vous. We, ze French, must have ze romance.'

So God went to the Jews and said, 'I have Commandments. '

The Jews asked, 'Commandments? How much do they cost?'

God replied, 'Nothing. They are free.'

The Jews answered, 'Good. We'll take Ten!'
