...there seem to be more right handed people than left handed people?

when the Japs have a recall that is as serious, I only read about it on market*w*a*tch.com (a financial news site)???

Personally, I think it's a matter of conformity. It's a right-handed world. A child with right handed-parents is taught to put the pencil in your right hand, and that the right hand is the one many cultures recognizes as the proper one for greetings, and religious rituals, such as blessing oneself.
Perhaps lefty's are just naturally rebellious.
Everyone was born Left Handed, they turn right handed when they commit their first sin.
Eye dominance has nothing to do with it as far as I can see. Many of my pistol students are cross-dominant. Maybe over 20%.
being left handed is a genetic trait like blonde hair blue eyes or straight teeth, perky breasts and soft doe eyes...long tan legs and....doh there I go again [:D]
my son is left handed. his mother is left handed and her dad is left handed...

You need to take the situation in hand. Don
I've been told by the older folks that years ago in schools, the Palmer Method of writing was used and use of the right hand was demanded so a lot of potential lefties were forever "scarred" emotionally.[:)]
I've also been told that baseball and fishing have had lot to do with it. Baseball because except for first base and pitching, throws are more easily and efficiently made righthanded and across the body. The companies who manufactured fishing reels made the right hand the crank hand from day one.
Guess what - I haven't a real clue as to why but thought these might be of help.[:)]

If the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, then only left handed people are in their right mind!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what my southpaw wife tells me all the time.[:D]
So when I shoot a handgun, I cock my head to the side to align my eye with the sights. When I shoot a rifle I haven't much choice but to sight with the right eye because shooting left-handed is a disaster.
She figured out three of us were left handed and our desks were place closest to hers where she could keep an eye on us. Any time she saw one of use our left hand, she would wack us with a ruler.
The old bat was fired the summer after my class moved up. To this day I can write with either hand, equally bad...[;)]
Write with my left, everything elses is right handed.
Except passing is allways to the left.
Wave bye,bye

Any of you other older lefties have a teacher that tried to convert you. I was in 1st grade in 1964. My first grade teacher announced the first day of class that left handed people were not normal and no one in her class was left handed.
