^^ They had two choices, to hide it, hide it well in the deep sea, or to destroy it and end evil forever. Gandalf then said there were creatures in the deeps sea, whose side they are on, we don't knowm the land fromation may change. Therefore they had but one choice: to destroy the One. No-one dared take it, Frodo then took it for the ring was calling for his master. Like most, he wished to remain in peace back to the Shire and play in Rivendell, but all knew that there will be no more days of play if the ring was not destroyed. Bilbo the said "so everybody is saying: Bilbo the silly hobbit started it do he'd better finish it!" Gandalf said the ring had passed on, that is what I think made Frodo take it, or one of the reasons anyway. He knew more then he appeared to know... (that was from the top of my head) And there IS evidence in the books, though the council wasn't the most adventurous part of the book, it has a mighty lot of imformation...but then...so does the appendix. :P
