That's easier to believe when it isn't someone taking food out of your garden and declaring it is natural to share.
If you grow it and someone else takes it and you need it, you might not feel quite the same way about natural sharing. Don't worry. They determined before they took enough to share, that you still had a copy of the cucumber!!!
Okay. These things always just become circular arguments with the people on the same sides. Believe what you will. I've got work to do so I shall bow out now.
