 There have always been a lot of people like this, they used to
mostly get swept up by the dominant religion and told what to think that
way. For a short while I think the dominant TV fashions may have taken over
the role (viz MTV generation). These days the influences are more random,
I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not but it's what is happening.
