alright, i'm gonna be off topic for a little bit, but here goes-just a little point to ponder. who says life on earth-earth doesn't go in a diluted/downwards trend, though? and with the hypothesis of evolution, who can say everything is in transit to a future perfection? in case you haven't noticed, the oil supplies are dwindling, clear habitable land also dwindles. not seeing perfection-now if only whoever is in charge of mechanical research would try to make feasible fusion power a reality, we might stave it off for a while yet. so in essence, tolkien might be making a point about ourselves as much as he is writing a story-that middle earth is our earth, and that as things decay and our lost in middle-earth, such happens here.
