“The definintion of “sheeple” would have to include something about not thinking or being obligated to think.

In some respects, the passivity of the train crew is tied to an unwillingness to think critically.”

This is something that I am seeing in the current economic meltdown: nobody thought critically as they purchased a home that was 10-20 times their annual salary (if they actually had a salary!)

The government forcing banks to make loans to people who the banks know would not be capable of paying back is just like later scenes in Atlas Shrugged. It is worthy of a character like Mouches.
