God no. I'm not a hair shirt kind of guy at all. After the revo, arugula & goat cheese for all (though Michael Perelman can stick with black beans and brown rice if he likes). I was trying to point out the problem with the use of "needs" in the classic from each/to each formula, since human needs, after the very basics, are very complex and plastic. Lots of reds don't like talking about desire, but I think they should.
