Re:Thousands dead, freedom buried (Score 1)

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but I think you are speaking in ignorance about Gandalf, and about Tolkein in general. The obligatory counter example is that Gandalf beheads the Goblin King in The Hobbit, but there are others. I have read Tolkein fairly extensively, though, and there is no "Neutral Good" in Tolkein's works. There is Good - the things of Illuvatar (God) and the Aindule - which is kinda like the fate- it is harmony and the song of existence, if you will. Then there is evil- it is chaotic, and a shadow and twisting of Good. There is no neutral anywhere.
