  1. I am a big fan of books, but it occurs to me that the “more words” and “larger range of topics” benefits probably apply to TV too…

  2. Mary,

    I never thought I’d live to see the day that someone said that being left handed made you evil. Are right handed people supposed angelic and good now?

    This has to be the strangest form of bigotry I’ve ever heard of.

    1. Actually, this is not a new concept (in fact it’s such an old concept I thought it was long gone). The etymology of sinister is from the Old French sinistre which means left.

  3. My mother had this happen to her when she was a child. She was forced to use her right hand, they bound her left arm/hand down.

  4. I knew someone this happened to in 5th grade. He had better hand writing than me (in that it was more legible) but because it slanted to the left and he was left handed, it was unacceptable.

    On the bacteria stuff, my research (and commercial development) into the use of ammonia oxidizing bacteria as part of the human microbiome is advancing nicely.
