Tolkien is Rolling in His Grave
Ordinary Turtle

I wouldn't be surprised if Tolkien was rolling in his grave right now with all these idoits comparing and contrasting Bush as Saruman/Sauron or Saddam as Saruman/Sauron etc...

Did any of you ever read that Tolkien did not like allegory, as in he did not want any of his books or works compared to something of today.

Just as his books first came out, he did not want people to refer the Orcs and Sauron as Hitler and the Nazi's and America being the people of Gondor.

Now if all of you would start to think and stop comparing and respect Tolkien then we can stop this comparing stuff and get onto more important issues at hand.

Like, what happened to Quickbeam?
