Deeper symbolism and hidden meanings in the books

[Lush]

Why not? at the same time, I could purge the world of flauntuous Orlie lovers. I could change my name to Iarwain and make the international anthem "Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!" How amazing would that be?

Touché, my friend. Much more amazing than what the Saddams of the world have had to offer us.

But while I am not a liberal per se (I'm Russian, I don't care), I do stand by the old "I may disagree with what you have to say, but will defend to the death your right to say it..." That goes for interpretations of Tolkien's work as well.

Alright, and now that I have butchered that expression (does anyone remember how it goes exactly?), does anyone else (Iarwain included) have anything actually insightful to post on this subject?
