I just happen to have a dominant left hand, and let me tell you I am OUTRAGED at your implication that "right" and "correct" are synonymous! This prejudice against and outright repression of lefties is nothing but a relic of our brutal past that has, through ignorance and xenophobia, firmly embedded itself in our nation. Utensils, keyboards, tools, phrases, furniture and even the direction we write, all possess a strong pro-right bias.

Lefties have been accused of being untrustworthy, dangerous, genetically inferior and even as cheaters, due to the advantage a left-hander has in many sports. While the ambidextrous are seen as being special and skilled, lefties are flukes and accidents! No wonder, since ambidextrous literally means "two right hands"...

Don't get me started on the language! While "right" can mean a basic freedom, what is correct, and conservative (AKA those who hold to what has been done before AKA the norm!)
"left" has come to mean only what is "not right" and liberal (AKA radical AKA apart from the norm!)

Don't let this bigotry continue! Lefties have lefts too!
