neither, I was adressing your question gearing the answer towards our once 
beloved "gift economy". which would imply that people who want to use my car 
because they claim I don't own it should in turn, or somehow, expect to be 
challenged about what they are injecting into this system

"Le grand soir" refers to a fantasmagoric moment when the Revolution happens 
and the morning after that there is no property and ownership, andreas, do you 
remember all that future ? it was great.

I do believe, joking apart, that there is no answer to your question of the 
casual car user in our present time and organization of society; it is the old 
question of the possibility of establishing communism in one country of the 
world only. All this is history, we have to make do with the reality of our 
capitalist world and try to steer things in another direction which is now 
totally out of theoretical reach, by that I mean that there is no one producing 
coherent thought about a different global organization of this world. there is, 
at best, a joyous bazar of communautarist reformism rolling its televized 
circus around the globe.

thanks, I know (and I was not asking you, ah ah), but I've seen righteous 
people struggling on TV when confronted with that, with millions of watchers 
awaiting for a "human" answer to an inhuman question
that was ages ago too

because I do not know what you mean by "own yourself"
and if I begin to think forward about what the notion of "own yourself" 
ultimately brings to human beings, well, I have to discard this concept real 
fast.
