Rights is the Wrong Word
We need to talk about “needs”Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000167 EndHTML:0000010650 StartFragment:0000000544 EndFragment:0000010634 As a 73 year old left-hander, I can testify to the dextrocentrism that defines our world. Those who studied Latin can easily recognize my neologism: dexter is latin for “right.” The Greco-Latin root for “left” is sinister. We tighten everything clockwise. Even the lowly screw is a right-handed tool, because it is most naturally and powerfully tightened by the right hand.Shorey Chapman5 min read
