reading this thread makes me realize how one shouldnt analyze JRRT. omg where to begin? Thanks to squatter, symstreme and lindil for inserting some valuable wisdom here that i hope will sink in.... Im not as literate as those guys so this reply isnt as gentle - my apologies. It would be interesting to find out the various political leanings of all the downers, but i would guess its safe to say that we as a group are a little left of center. So my opinion might grate on you guys like a burr in a hobbits lederhosen - sorry again!
its a free world and i appreciate the diverse opinions here but omg the start thread is as wrong as a certain german using Wagner to describe how wonderfull his race was. Its all wrong. period. Atlantis is one of the oldest myths of western civilization.

yikes - can you say self loathing? Its lonely at the top son
In a lot of ways, America is an extension of western europe. I would say, so far, we have a pretty decent track record when comparing the 2 continents in this regard. It wasnt too long ago when Britain OWNED 1\4 of the WORLD. Last time I checked, it hasnt sunk - you guys let me know if it starts though - there may be some slow moving ents we need to help out!
