MJ I guess we could spell it both ways, depending on who we are speaking about.
Clever sheep that go straight through the gate instead of running round in circles are clever so they are sheople.
People who follow everything supposedly like a sheep are sheeple.
Actually that sets me thinking about following like a sheep, they certainly don't follow when going through gates. But then I guess they do when they are going to have a drink and are walking along their little sheep pads. OOh I think I had better stop thinking and shut up.
What a lot of nonsense I have just bored you with, time to go and do some housework.
