Questionable whether the elves were "the supreme race"; they'd done nothing but get slaughtered
since Feanor led them in his arrogance out of the west to Middle Earth. Theirs is the mythology; the
hobbits just stumbled into it (or were called, depending on how analytical you want to be.)
two more things: to send the Ring via a little
"insignificant" hobbit puts Sauron et al "out
of their depth completely; it's the last thing
they would ever suspect the powers of the west
to do...and:
Frodo (and Bilbo) were chosen by a power stronger
than the Ring's; the Ring was on its way back to
Sauron, having felt his power stirring nearby in
the Necromancer's fortress. It should have chosen
a goblin (or Smeagol himself)(I'd forgotten that
name till I listened to the tape)to take itself
back to its maker,but instead it "slips off
Gollum's finger" into the hands of that most
unlikely of ringbearers: Bilbo. And he, suffering
under the ring's enchantment, still for the good
of all manages to GIVE THE RING AWAY. This MUST
have been the influence of the power of the west.
There was a short story (sf) years ago in which
the LAST BATTLE was fought that way; at the end,
the Spirit moved across the battlefield and raised
the souls of those who had fought...
Then why can't he fight? He's relatively powerless in Leon's grasp, much less in Roy's; even Priss is twice his strength at least. He has a considerable past, at least with Bryant and Gaff and the people in the community (lunch counter). But, if Ridley says so, then I guess it must be so, unless he's letting the urban legend drum up some further interest...
The artist holds the right to copy, but the mechanism to distribute belongs to the suits.They will screw all concerned if they can increase profit ("enhance shareholder value") by doing so. So where is the mechanism for free distribution for the artist who chooses to do so? NAPSTER! The planet should now proceed to produce NEW MUSIC (and other art) to feed the newly-created need, shouldn't it? and the pirates should then refuse to support the artists who "sell out"?
NPR reported that the boyfriend's (arrested) girlfriend (still at large) had agreed to come in Tues. but they also mentioned (just in passing, seemingly) that virus creation was NOT against any law in the Philippines.(!!) Any truth to that?

site to complain about...

Good to return to Middle Earth for a while;
it's been a long time...

Now I wonder how hackable this IFF might be, and
how much the brass actually are willing to trust
it?

Thinking of Christopher? He's only make-believe.

Do you mean Free it, or make it free? Do you see
a difference?
No reason to create? Where's that leave the FSF?
or art? or humanity?
