Re: the white is stronger than the Grey. Why?

I don't know about this, Ron. Gandalf tells both Aragorn and the hobbits that his work is finished and his task completed -- but does that mean his power has been banked by whatever forces have allotted him that power? IMO, no. If that's the case, then who is allotting Sauron his power and why didn't they just pull the plug on him when he started to buck the system?

Suppose Gandalf decided to rebel and set himself up as his own "Dark Lord"? Ridiculous, I know, but for the sake of argument, let's say he did -- he could have used his power to do so, I think.
