				  How about something like 'Good things don't last in ME'? It seems like one of the overriding themes is how so many of the races and civilisations fell over time, either because of their evil or the evil of others. Maybe Tolkien was expounding on the innate evil in humanity? Just a stab in the darkness, feel free to disagree.

 That's good.  Maybe we could extend that and say that Tolkien thought that nothing good lasted in the world because of sin, etc.  G
Thanks for your point of view.  I like it.
