The SC schools tried to convert me too and failed. It was one more reason at an early age I came to resent educrats.

For crying out loud! I'm left-handed and just adjust to that reality as I'm sure 99.9% of other lefties do. Not once have I thought of it as "adversity" - it just is.

My mother lived to be 86. Till her dying day, she would try to make up for the fact I was left handed. She somehow considered it to be handicapped condition for which she was ultimately responsible.

Another victim group! We really needed another one! The slavery and 9/11 crap is getting old. Can we have a Lefty History Month? Something to make righties feel guilty about being righties.

Rubbish. Total rubbish.

People who watch me cut with right handed scissors always cringe because in order for me to make them work with my left hand, I to start out with the scissors at the far end of whatever I'm cutting and cut towards my body. It looks weird, but hey, it works for me.
