Surely the principle is "From each accord to his
abilities, to each according to his needs," comrade! 
Your particular need for JD and my particular one for
Booker's should both be recognized and satisfied as a
condition for the universal recognition and
satisfaction of needs, no?

--
Curtiss, knowing full well that the mention of brand
names -- social constructs -- as substitutes for the
objective qualities of alcohol -- use value -- is an
even worse piece of metaphysical confusion than
classical commodity fetishism, which merely inputes
substance to exchange value (and this while setting a
new record for the length of his silly signatures to
boot)

PS.  See Guy Debord's _Panegyric_ for an extended and
magnificent discussion of drinking in a (hetrodox)
Marxian framework.
