One fourth of the population is born Left handed. By the time various entities have inflicted sufficient abuse, the percentage of people who live out our lives as "southpaws" is down to about 10%. There's a common belief that forcing genetically left handed people to switch causes psychological harm. That wasn't an issue in my family. Dad, and his father were both lefties. Southpaws are exceptional people. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Yankee great Ron Guidry. He's the 5th winningest pitcher in the history of baseball's all time winningest franchise. Three of the four ahead of him are also lefties. Southpaws also excel in science, and the arts, according to educationandcareernews.com. we have more vivid imaginations, and a greater capacity to "think outside the box" than our right handed counterparts.
