  1. Re:OK, this has been bothering me for years on "Lord of the Rings" Quicktime Preview Available · · Score: 1
    I disagree. It wasn't a matter of the high lacking the courage, but realizing their weakness.

    The Ring also affected different people in different ways. If Frodo had completely sucummbed to the ring, he would have become a wraith. If Gandalf had taken the ring, he would have become like Sauron (remember, both were Maia) and controlled the wraiths.

    I don't disagree that Frodo selflessly sacrificed himself - I think the last pages of the Return of the King are the saddest, when Frodo is unable to heal and is always in misery. I'm not intending to be dogmatic, but to say that Frodo was a guinea pig would suggest that the ring was thrust upon him. he voluntarily took it, and would not have been asked if he hadn't volunteered.

  3. samsung 3500 on Where Can I Find Cell Phone Recommendations? · · Score: 1
    I've been real happy with the sprint samsung3500 dual phone. sprint offers a $50/mo for 500 anytime free long dist. mins + 30 wireless web updates (yahoo email, weather, stock quotes, etc). I live in LA, and work along the coast in costa mesa/newport and so the service is great. dual band is nice, although analog is roaming at .40/min, the coverage is inclusive of almost anywhere in the us.

    nextel is another provider some friends of mine have been happy with...the i1000 and so on..
