*Rosa aims flame thrower, then blows out the flame* <P>The only thing I disagree with is what you said about magic in Middle-earth. The Ring wasn't the only object to have magic in ME, it was just the most malevolent at the time. And not all magic is bad (remember that magic is generic term that describes what the observer doesn't understand. Science is magic to those who don't know how it works; the sunset is magic just because it's so beautiful, etc, etc.).<P>Aside from that, no beef from me. Good points!
