haha, tough to come up with anything positive. They can't even build good roads. ;) For the sake of my perception of this post, I'll consider government to be synonymous with the state. The only reason I bring that up is because I do think it is possible for the government (as merely administration) to do something positive well. Some countries have shown this to some degree, such as Switzerland and Luxembourg. It is impossible for the state (coercive element) to do something positive well. The US (among others) is proving this point quite aptly.
