Dragons and other Things

gorthaur,
You stated "gandalf <openly> wore the ring at the grey havens."
For a little explanation you can come up with the assumption that the 3 elven rings were invisible when worn by their master. In the "Mirror of Galadriel," Sam does not see Gandalf's ring but Frodo does (will get to that later). Elrond and Gandalf used the power of their rings many times but no one ever saw the rings on them. When the one ring was destroyed the 3 rings lost their power which would make them visible again. So that's what I've come to about the "openly." For an explanation on Frodo, he had the one ring, which would explain him seeing the ring and Sam not. It never comes out and says "the 3 rings are invisible when worn on the hands of their masters." From what I have explained we can only assume that. When the one was destroyed the 3 lost power making them visible, I believe that is the only time where it talks about the rings being "visible" or "seen."

To get back on the subject, most everyone has stated someting about their opinion on dragons or balrogs. No sense in repeating, form what's been brought up it's quite clear dragons were the superior "evil."
