*gasp* Blatantly sexist remark!!! Please allow me to make my own...

The husbands do all the earning and are threatening to cut up all the wives credit cards! In fact, they now have an activist group (Furious and Tubby or F.A.T.) that is calling on enraged anti-Beorn husbands everywhere to do just that!! F.A.T. will not be stopped until Beorn has been given the unceremonious ejection he so richly deserves.

(I have a feeling I'm about to accomplish my goal of removing any semblance of sanity from this thread. )

Argghh. I really wanted to vote for Beorn today. But can I after that???

Maybe I can. Beorn is still a shape-shifting hippie, and still uselessly annoying. He came in last in all of the most recent nature trail races due to his constant detours to look for honey. And in addition, F.A.T. members will certainly be irritated if their ends are only achieved through an accidental alliance with their arch-enemies...

Keep up with the dwarf down-sizing! Give Kili a pink slip.

We need to unite, and the Gloin voters are more intransigent. I say Dwarf reducers should follow me if we're to match the Beorn bandwagon.

--KILI, ++GLOIN

Down with the hide-bound grocer hater!

To play the Devil's Advocate, I will make this appeal to the Davem demographic of voters (not that Davem is voting in this game, nor has a demographic appeared that follows his views... but whatever: I'm having fun).

Kili is a character found only in The Hobbit, where he comes to his unfortunately sticky end. As such, he is never seen as a living or breathing character in the true Legendarium- and is only met through Appendix A III. Gloin, however, is a living and breathing dwarf that we are privileged to meet in Rivendell.

Furthermore, Gloin is a rare example of a character who gets wiser with age, for surely anyone can see that he had become less critical and more kindly in his old age.

I agree that the Dwarves need culling- although I'm standing by my Beorn vote for now- but if push comes to shove, then I think I'll transfer my vote to Kili, to save the older Dwarf's skin.

Anyway, if the argument of "Thranduil is Legolas' father = eviction" is valid, then Gloin ought to be kept for the same reason.
