Well, I think he had fewer problems with racism than with women... didn't
quite know what to do with them, did he? The few of them who do exist are
all a bit cliché... gentle and beautiful and all that... even the only true
protagonist among them, Eowyn, but she does it all for love... :-)

Hey, wait, there IS always Lobelia Baggins of the Sackville Bagginses!

Best regards,
Gabriele Kahn

Guod Mie Lady Sandy.

         Ye'll ah tryst fergav mie eme Scotss is nae sah guid , but as can
ye sie , am ah traein.
Ye be raeht uver th fact thet Black i' nae necessarly end en thet daek be
nae necessarly guid.  AH dinna know whither oe nae Tolien were a rahcist ir
nae.  In Bloemfontein war he cairtanlie norn after thanglish had conauered
th Boers? Th anglish themslvs had a wee grand traditie of Racism en
Classicism.  Th indigenous fouk were simplie « wogs » tae them., «boy» nen
th lahk « nae quite human.  Tolkien movd tae briton when e were juist a wee
lad and were sent off tae public school where he could ha lernd much thet
soort otheing howe'er, on th' other hand, he immersed hisselv in Grieks,
Latein, and Anglo-Saxon studies.

         Aye ah'm well eno' vers'd thru scholarship an life tae know o' th'
North in Winter.  Winter , 'e can be a cruel an haerd taskmaster.  Ah were
norn in Belgium, in Kortrijk.  Mie Mum were a from near tae Bruge, but mie
Dad were an American Air Force Groep Captain, or colonel.  So We moved tae
Fontainebleau, a major NATO centre.  I lived there fer a ten year.

         A'h'm a heathen meslv an wership th oulde Gods :  Nehellenia, Dame
Holda, Frigge, Freo/Frijâ , Òðinn/Woden/Wodan, Thor/Donnar and Cybelê as
wella s many of the Elder Gods. I n the Levant and Mediterranean countries
it was the opposite the Sun was heat and death and night was of course and
life-giving.

It be mah seinsire heip thet Frigg will watch over yer wee ones or they be
older yer bairns.

Love be th Law , Love under Will
L'qmour est la Loy  , l'amour sous la Volonté
Bid is die Wedd , Bid ondir Wilde

In solidarity wi' Scottish Iindependenpence an haar people.
