Gilbo has just left Hobbiton.
1420!

Hobbits are the best choice to bear the ring because they are least desirous of it.To Bilbo, it was never more than a bauble with a useful trick to it. It enabled him to avoid unpleasant, and unwanted, company. Not until later years, when the Ring began to desire him that it became a problem.
Frodo was ideal to bear the ring because the ring came to him. He did not have to CHOOSE to take it. The desire of the ring, and the TAKING of the ring lead to the downfall of the taker. How long do you suppose it would have been an heirloom in Deagol's house had not Smeagol acted on his desire. And look at the result for poor Smaegol. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
