You don't think they have sheep in other countries? Sheep like people that is. Most law abiding folk he prefer peace and quiet have some sheep like qualities. They do not want to start any trouble and they tend to follow the ones who are nearest to them.
A good research subject is to study to what extent humans have flocking or swarming tendencies and compare human swarm rules with those of birds and fish.

Yeah, sheep are everywhere, but I usually think of it in the negative way. I do agree with your point, too, ruveyn. If the people are provided for, protected from invading forces, etc. they'll usually freely go along with most things - and "provided for" is so subjective. This country is made up of some very disparate groups though. I am stunned that places like Tennessee and NYC are part of the same country. There's conformity in both areas but it is basically diametrically opposed. It almost seems obvious in conjecture how one day, with the disintegration of the US, which is inevitable, how the different regions will break into separate countries.
