There is a book out (old book) titled "The Left-Handed Book", by James T.deKay. 
 In it, one of the pieces of info that I find most gratifying is this.  "Dr 
Bryng Bryngelson, of the Univ of Minnesota, says:  'Left-handed people tend to 
be more creative, more imaginative than right-handed people.'  Which may 
explain why Michaelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo were all left-handed".  :):):)

Hear ... hear ... from another "southpaw",  there was a softball  team in 
Sacramento, California called "Sinestra" and every player was left  handed, 
even third base and short stop, and every one laughed, until they took  
championship ... so from one of the left side, or sinister as they say, and  as 
a 
life long bass ackwards "lefty", I attest to the fact that only the ones  
with true resolve get over the right hand world we live in.

Those of  us who are old enough to have grown up using fountain  pens will  
remember how difficult it was to write without leaving an ink   smear.  Or 
in 
the case of three-ring or spirally bound  notebooks  the need to  
constantly 
adjust our hand positions to  avoid the rings in the  notebooks.  Or having 
our fingers jam in  the  openings of scissors  (still the case unless you 
get 
a  left-handed pair). 

And think about these:: 

1.  Left in  Spanish is "Sinestra", which is also linked to  the occult and 
evil  ("Sinister").

2.  Until well after WWII Japanese children were  punished  physically in 
order to rid them of their  left-handedness.

3.  The punishment is amputation of the right  hand  for petty crimes in 
certain parts of the world because the left  hand was  reserved for 
"personal 
cleaning" whereas the right was used  for eating out the  communal bowl.    
 

It's no  wonder some left-handed folks grow up with bad  attitudes....
