I think when you originally think about this on the surface I think of politicians and people who are in power in our country and around the world. I think if you apply a deeper meaning to this you can get that Peter is talking about people that can influence our lives. I remember yesterday I was listening to the radio at work and I heard a lyric on a song that said "It's the new thing to live in sin", at first I laughed at how random it was but the more I thought about it how horrible yet true it is. Our generation is rationalizing itself into sin because of people in the media influencing us.
Returning to the pollutions of the world gives us greater condemnation because we have know what it is to live with the gospel yet we choose not to follow it.
