I'm glad to see many opinions being posted here. I for one disagree with left-handedness.

robguz! You horrible despicable person. I am left-handed. I can't believe you can't find it in yourself to not be more open minded about the hand that is dominant hand. It isn't my choice, I was born this way.
As a young girl (early 70s) they tried to beat this sickness out of me in school. My ancient 1st grade teacher would yank my fat early writing pencil out of my hand and turn my tablet straight and try to make me write with my right hand. No matter what I couldn't do it because it is just part of who I am to be left-handed. The teacher tried and tried and I would give my best shot to use my right hand but I just couldn't do it. It was so much more comfortable with my left. My parents had to go to the school to fight for the right to let me be me.
Even today, with as much progress as we have made, I still have a hard time finding spiral notebooks, scissors and the like that are suited for the left hand. I still feel like I have to hide who I am at times.
