Oh, I don't deny that readers will always find Tolkien's works to be 'applicable', but that's not the same as us finding something new to say about the works themselves, or about Tolkien himself, in terms of origins, sources, what he was really doing (or attempting to do).
BTW, you seem to have a very 'apocalyptic' vision of the future there, LMP.
