Birdie steps up to the plate for Hobbits: OK, so maybe Hobbits wouldn't desire to rule Middle Earth, but look at what a great job they did with the Shire:

A postal system second to none.

Free education, (for however long anyone wanted it.)

Great road system.

Possibility that they had indoor plumbing.

A helpful and friendly police force.

A fair and equitible system of laws.

Thriving import/export businesses.

Eco-friendly argricultural techniques.

OK, so maybe they might not have been up to the task of taking on the Dark Lord single-handedly, but when it comes to the day-to-day working of govenment, I think that a little "hobbit-sense" was just what some of these kingdoms in Middle-Earth needed.
