IF you ask me: Lefties are the true opressed minority

I know, your saying what! You have to be crazy! Yet, think about it. There are groups fighting for the rights of gays, African Americans, immigrants, and almost any other group you can think of. Today, cars, notebooks, computers, kitchen gadgets and many other things are made for the ease of use for a right hander. If you want that fixed for a left hander, you have to pay big bucks. This all may sound trivial but, every year there are deaths attributed to left handers for this very reason. Lefties are more likely to die in an accident than any other group of people. We are forced to maneuver our lives in a right handed world. People do not take the problems we face seriously. A little compassion would be nice! I am truly not actually putting a left handed problems on the level of exactly a human rights issue. I am not even asking for laws to protect us. That would add to the problem, I think. I am just saying a little extra thought into somethings made in this world would be nice. Some equity in price would be nice. At the store I see spiral notebooks with 100 pages for like .99$ and then a similar notebook for lefties (with the spiral on top) and this notebook costs like 3.50$. What is up with that? Do they assume lefties have more money? Are they patting themselves for thinking of such an idea that they have to charge so much more? Not really fair- is it.
