'sinister' is a word derived from what used to merely mean left handed. you probably knew that. anyway, there's a lot of folks would probably be surprised how much respect we leftniks (and i use that term with severe reservation, as left/right dichotomies flatten politics and MAKE US STUPID and i am against things that make us DUMB. there's a lot more to it than just left/right or even authoritarian vs. individualism like the libertarians introduced into the diagram. there's another axis - absolutist vs. relativist, meaning the difference between folks who think the same laws should apply to all people in all circumstances and in all localities, while relativists believe time, place and circumstance have to be taken into account when it comes to enforcing the law. ,our two latter-day catties, aow and miyu, are both ambidextrous, and knock shit over with either paw with equal ease.
