I saw something maybe yesterday that was like, Samwise could carry frodo without being affected by the ring, so why didn’t they just tape the ring to a small animal and put it in a bag, and carry the bag to Mordor?

I’ll tell you that council didn’t think very hard before concluding “one of us must physically carry it all the way there.”

This is exactly right. They were just busy with important eagle business.

I made a post, as a lawyer, about some of the common law rules for self defense, five months ago, and I still get replies from people who don’t like the truth:

Deadly force is never authorized to protect property.

An intruder standing in your living room with no weapon or other outward sign of aggression is not a deadly threat and you will be charged with murder if you kill him.

People cannot handle this.
