>i'm a leftie, and damn proud!! Hey, me too, but in more of a secret satisfaction kind of way. My point in the original message wasn't to bring up the entire issue of Salinger's letie/righty theme. It was to take the Kierkegaard quote into consideration, for well, maybe an answer or possibility to the leftie/ righty business....but mainly just for comparison with Salinger's lefthanded ideals... I dunno.. I'm a little mixed up now... Um, I was under the impression that Salinger was a big fan of Kierkegaard.. maybe one of the 3 virgils...I dunno. Anyone else read Kierkegaard? -jared
