I wonder if the Ring wasn't as powerful back then.... All through the Hobbit I honeslty thought the ring was cool. I wanted one! After reading LotR, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole, unless someone asked me to chuck it into Mt. Doom, then I might reconsider....

Sorry-I got sidetracked. Like I was saying, nowhere in the Hobbit did the ring seems to be as evil, and Bilbo had it on for days at a time (the elven-king's halls). I think that since Sauron wasn't as powerful yet, the Ring was still trying to check out his new bearer, and not allow itself to be destroyed before Sauron had the power to rescue it. *shivers* Yikes, that's creepy!
