I love Sam too!!<BR>I think he wasn't as affected/tempted by the Ring as Frodo and Bilbo were is mostly because of his simplicity; and too many people confuse simplicity with stupidity. He saw through the Ring's tricks; he knew himself, and though he saw "Samwise the Strong, hero of the age", he didn't believe it. I cried when it seemed that Frodo was dead, more for Sam than for Frodo (but really, it doesn't affect Fro, he's dead. But Sam's gotta live with it...)<BR>Sam rules!
