re: #147 SanFranciscoZionist

Ursula LeGuin, who is a major Tolkien fan, does point out that if Sam sirs Frodo one more time, she’s going to start a Hobbit Socialist Party.

If you recall “The scouring of the Shire” which was in the book but left out of the movie, Saruman did incite a kind of revolution in the Shire.
