The masses that are still asleep on important issues. They are cultivated the same way cows are cultivated for milk and meat, or like chickens for their eggs and meat or more accuractly for their wool. Sheeple herd by the government.
Why bother try to educate hopeless people? They are still sheeple. They are content living in their fantasy while they are being shared bald for their money... i mean.. wool.

Weak minded people who refuse to formulate their own opinions when it comes to any sensitive, controversial occurrence. They jump on the bandwagon so they can appease people, therefore they'll stay quiet/scared (Sheepy)because they can't handle being an outcast when it comes to forming a opinion.
Background: A sheep has a nature of being bashful and fearful. Sheep are best known for flocking (herding) and following instinct. They will run from what frightens them and band together in large groups for protection. When one sheep moves, the rest will follow, even if it is not a good idea.
Sheep + People = Sheeple
