    A few years ago, I was in a group of 30 master's level counselors and theater people. More than 1/2 of us were left handed! I found that very interesting. I have noticed that many actors are left handed. Also, many politicians- of the 12 presidents since Harry Truman, SIX were left handed! (although Ronald Reagan wrote right handed, he said that he was "switched" when he was young).

      I have found that most lefties enjoy their freedom of work in the acting profession. A good number in the business arena and others in art.

    You have a list of people that aren't left handed but people thought were left handed yet....you leave those right handed people in your list of left handers...many of the people in your criminal left hander list are duplicates..It would be like having me in a list based on my legal name and every slang name people call me

    As a local JP I have noticed that half of our Legal Advisors are left handed. Like architects where many are also left handed, there must be something on the creative side of their brain which helps them to excel in their profession.
