As I sit here and bask in the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl victory, I also think about how nice it would be if our government operated in the same manner: one focus…one mind…one goal….   For those who don’t know, the New England Patriots have achieved what most teams only dream about, 3 Super Bowl victories in 4 years.  Quite an accomplishment in this day and age of free agency and all.     Now let’s take the football element out of it and see what is behind all of it.  Let’s see,  hard work, team work,  singular focus on a solitary goal, selflessness, non-egotistical, ethical, civic oriented, mutual respect, responsibility.…  Hmm. All things  which I think most would agree are the ingredients for a solid character assessment and success.  Living proof of this theory is the New England Patriots.   What would our government and subsequently our country be like if these, dare I say, values be brought to the forefront and become the focus of our government,  a set of core values to measure  the actions of our government and nation as a whole and individually.  Would that be a bad thing?  I think not….
