I like what you said, Saucepan Man.
I think what Frodo and Sam did was very heroic. Frodo risked everything to take the ring to Mordor, and Sam risked everything to follow Frodo. MAybe the plan was sneaky, but how else would they destroy the ring? They couldn't very well walk up to the gates, knock, and ask the Mouth of Sauron to destroy it for them. And the comparison to Wyatt Earp wasn't quite right, either. I don't really know anything about him, so I'm going off of what you said in your post. Is Wyatt Earp some evil, dark lord who wants to take over Earth? Has he tricked and manipulated people to conform to his will? Does he send people out to destroy anyone who stands in his way?? If so, I think it would be heroic for someone to challenge him in the first place, because with a character like that, he could have shot you with the first word you spoke to him. And I think it does matter what way you do it, and I don't believe that the end always justifies the means, not at all. But how else would they have destroyed the ring if they weren't a bit tricky about it??
