What's in a team?

You sacrifice for your team. You hurt your teammate hurts. You hurt someone on your own team you hurt yourself. Someone on your team succeeds the team succeeds. You're in trouble your teammate backs you up. Your teammate's in trouble you back them up.
My man Teddy Roosevelt thought that sports and athletics were designed to teach kids the skills they need in the real world. Just like the English before them (see war and rugby similarities). Ask yourself if that's how things really are right now? It's easy to see... All the different parts hold all the others up... one part falls away, or tries to take advantage, every other part is affected negatively, and in turn, so is the one for taking the advantage (or as we call it in hockey the cancer). You pull your own house down when you pull down your neighbor's.
Apply that thought to a friend of mine talking about their job in New York... "It's cutthroat, but hey, it's Wall Street..." Apply that to the fact that if the nation prints more money to finance say, a war, that money goes straight into already wealthy pockets at the same time making the poor people's money worth less. So all the people that might have the power to influence things see the war as a boon on their pockets and do nothing, while the rest of the country is in shambles.
