Sheep is not meant literally of course =).

Every "sane" human is a sheep of mankind (which cannot be avoided). We are subject to human emotions which we can not resist. If we are complemented, we feel proud. If we are insulted, we are defensive. If we are wronged, we feel angry. My arguement is that we can never truely be logical because of these emotions. We can never truely be free because we are still human.

We all enjoy certain things, we all dislike certain things. For example, most of the time when we listen to the news the stories do not effect us, yet we still have an emotion about them. If I buy something for enjoyment I can never consider myself a 'Free Thinker' because I am still a slave to human thoughts, emotions and vices.
