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

An enterprising wife...

We have heard of Indecent proposal which was made into a film. But this was more like an indecent suggestion:

In 2005, a boss, in order to keep a mistress, bought a house in Shengzhen for her to live in, plus a monthly allowance of 5000 yuan. The house costed him about 500,000 yuan.

He sold the house this year for 3.2 million yuan, after he broke off from his mistress.

A quick calculation:

After 5 years of free fling with the woman, he still had a net gain of 2.4 million yuan.

Basking in his glory, he kept gloating over this episode. When his wife found out about this, she was very mad and gave him a big scolding:

Why the hell did you just keep only one mistress!?

Thanks Brother, for your visit and comment.

I was going to add that my wife used to commend someone else for being so smart: having a mistress to look after production; another to do sales, yet another to do admin work, while the wife looks after cash. Not sure if wife knows about the others, nor if each one knows about the others; but everyone else seems to know.

I am also unsure if my wife was encouraging me to do the same!
