Hi-ho, another lefty, here!

Yes, I have felt oppressed by the right-handed world and their
silly right-handed sissors and right-handed desks.

But how about this: for virtually all asymmetric organic
molecules, it is the LEFT-handed versions that make up
living things or can be utilized by them.  Life at
its simplest level is left-handed!

There is a very good book on handedness: "Lefties: the
Origins and Consequences of Being Left-Handed" by
Jack Fincher (Perigee Books, paperback, SBN: 399-50460-5)
