Seriously BO,, Influenced is good but a leader thinks before he acts. He may go along with the crowd but only because he really wants to not because he was goated into going along. we have all been influenced by our parents and teachers, bosses at work, or military and political leaders but I don't believe that is what this was about. I think the question was directed more towards our social lives, friends and strangers. We see a commercial that is selling this really kewel product and they get ya on the pitch and you go and buy it. That doesn't make you a follower it just makes you a compulsive buyer. But if you see the commercial and think nothing of it and then go out front and 3 of your neighbors all own that product and tell you you should have one and you say,, "yea well maybe your right" and you go back inside and call the 1800 number,,, that makes you a follower. I say I'm not a follower cause I'd have said to the neighbors,, I've seen the commercial, and I wasn't impressed, its not for me and I'd leave it at that.
