   A rather nice postscript to this discussion -- I saw one of those   
   posters on Facebook for the US elections. It featured Bernie Sanders   
   and Hillary Clinton, and says it all.   
      
   Bernie Sanders: "You cannot wield it! None of us can. The One Ring   
   answers to Sauron alone, it has no other master."   
      
   Hillary Clinton: "It is a gift, a gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not   
   use this ring?"
