International Lefthanders Day 2021

I remember asking Dr Charles M Davis if it is true that left handed people are more intelligent than right handed people. He immediately said yes, it's quite true.

I have debated this matter with various people over the years and it is a favorite research topic of mine. Charlie Davis is left handed. I am ambidexterous.

Today brings another International Left Handers Day. It celebrates left handed people. First observed by one Dean R Campbell in 1976 who is the founder of Lefthanders International, Inc the day is all about the lefty in a predominately right handed world.

My personal interests in the matter revolve around brain hemisphere useage as it relates to left and right handed people.

Some of my best friends have been left handed.

I find it all interesting but I also feel that the hand you use should be involved as a matter of personal choice. I have heard horror stories of teachers taking it upon themselves to force right handed writing on a left handed child ...

But now they don't even teach writing in school.

There you go. Yet another reason to get rid of public education in favor of private and home schooling.
