I get you, Birdland, but that idea goes against Tolkien's conception og Man. Men are not bound to Arda as Elves are, and as such they are not bound to the Music which Arda is made of. The only time that a Man becomes entangles in the Music is when he has a lot to do with any of the Immortals. Numenor, as a whole, had a lot to do with the Immortals, and so it was bound as a whole to fate. Hobbits, on the other hand, have absolutely nothing to do with any immortals as a whole. I can say this with absolute certainty. Hobbits had nothing to do with Immortals. Hobbits know of Elves, certainly, but Elves do not know of Hobbits. Even the Elves of Elrond's house have trouble telling the difference between Bilbo and Aragorn when they are singing. (Check the index for LINDIR.)

Hobbits are not fated for anything.
