Mr. Underhill, I have the utmost regard for you and wish you only good things, but your wings and rings crackpot theories are losing you valuable points as we speak!

We could, if desired, relate the Ring to drug usage and the stupor with which it inhibited the bearer/user, but does that make it reasonable to assume the JRR intended it to mean such? No! So many people spend far too much time looking for and then actually thinking that they see underlying meaning in the most barefaced of facts. It reminds me of those people who think Vitamin C actually helps their immune system. You, too, have fallen victim to the PLACEBO EFFECT! *dramatic chord* Look at all of the relationships in the books. Sam and Rosie: happy marriage! Aragorn and Arwen: happy marriage! It goes on...Celeborn and Galadriel, well, you've read the books, you know the people. I guess that sums up my rant for now.
