++Boromir

I think he was as ethical as anyone. His problem was that he was like the vast majority of us. It takes a Gandalf, a Galadriel, or a Faramir to resist the call of The Ring. Had the overwhelming majority of anyone in ME been in Boromir's shoes, they'd have taken it, as well.

I'm one who thoroughly believes that mercy to the wolf is cruelty to the sheep. But I'd still accept the Temporary Insanity defense from Boromir's lawyer if he were on trial.
