The Origin of "Left" & "Right"...

**wompus** · 10-01-2011, 06:52 PM

I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left."

By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)

Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.

Can't get any simpler than that.

Subject: Spelling Lesson

The last four letters in American..........I Can
The last four letters in Republican........I Can
The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats

End of lesson. A Test is scheduled November, 2012

Remember, November is to be set aside as rodent extermination
month.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Unless you have left hand threads, then it's the opposite. :) So, how does this relate? I don't know, just rambling. Need some sleep.
