In so many ways the ring is more powerful than its true creator and master - Sauron depended on it for his own survival, but the ring did not seem to need Sauron to carry on itself. It continued to fulfill its role even when Sauron was incapacitated. (Vanima)

It
was more powerful than its creator--he had to pour out a large amount of his power to make the little thing.

If we're not to push Frodo in, what happens? How do we destroy the Ring? (Elladan and Elrohir)

If we're looking for someone perfect to destroy the Ring, I believe he resides beyond Arda, unfailing in his commitment to save his Children. A way will be found.
What it is, though, I do not know.

how important is the preservation of free will when the fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance? (Elladan and Elrohir)

If one is willing to sacrifice free will "for the good of all," then he progresses towards the same path as Sauron. Remember, the Ring was created to dominate other races, so Sauron could build his "paradise" as a rival to Aman (where he refused to go).
Hmmm . . . Second Age-Noldor and Sauron?
