"And nine rings were given to the race of men, who, above all things, d e s i r e Power "
(From the prologue to "The Lord Of The Rings, The Fellowship Of The Ring")
Power? Yup, and I ask, power over what? Images of Europe, Germany and Japan in the 1940's keep popping into my head and I wonder, if the oppressors won, what would they have power over? They have destroyed everything in sight. When they lose, what do they have to go home to? All is destroyed there as well.... In the movie, Logan's Run, he leaves the protection of the sheltered city to go outside and seek "sanctuary". What he finds is overgrown and decrepit buildings and monuments in a shell that was once Washington DC. That was science-fiction, but still, who won that one?????
