I'm a lefty!....we are the only one's in our "right mind".

It is a right-hand world though. While some products do offer left-hand versions, the vast majority do not. Case in point...a rifle I once bought. It ejected the spent cartridge out the right side and backwards...right in my face. Had to learn to shoot right-handed (stock in your right shoulder) or return the rifle. Returned the rifle for one that ejected outwards like most do.

In many countries, as I'm sure some here can attest to, children are forced to use their right hands early on if they show signs of being a lefty. Sounds like discrimination to me!

I have seen statistics that say artistic people are more likely to be left handed because the same part of the brain that motivates one to exercise their artistic side is the same as the one that determines your hand usage....or something along those lines!
