I agree with aragornreborn (not that my lowly oppion matters much, but anyway) The ten commandments were a standard given by god or whoever to be lived up to. In ME, whatever standard may exist, it's so imbued into the good guys(and so ignored by the not-so-good guys) that it's doesn't need to be mentioned. Lush is also right. This is fiction, and Tolkien doesn't need to have any kind of standard or code in effect. However, I think since the ideas of honour and destiny exist in the story then there most deffinly is a moral code at work. Just not one in ten commandments format.

I sincerly appolgize for my spelling and for taking up the time of my betters. I will now crouch in a corner and be corrected by people who know more then me.
