I remember that in letters Tolkien says that after Sauron there is no other incarnation of evil, as some of you have already said; and that from them on it is more difficult to distinguish evil and good because they are always mixed in all people and in all situations [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I agree with Tolkien: I would prefer a Dark Lord that is clear for everybody that is the encarnation of evil, like Sauron, than thousands of Sarumans which is not clear which side they are [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] And I think that this Seventh Age sometimes seems an age of Sarumans [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
