Kalimac and Tigerlily, that's basically what I said, but I did it in fewer words. I guess I didn't specify what I was saying.

I do believe Gollum(or do I mean Smeagol) had to have some evil/coruption in him, at first, to be able to be entrolled with the Ring. Then the ring helped turn him into Gollum, but it was his choice to go down that path. Not completely the Ring's. We must remember that many people, including Gandalf, resisted the urge for the Ring. Smeagol/Gollum didn't originally have that will power. So in the beginning, he was at least a little evil.
