International Left-Handers' Day

10% of the world's population suffer discrimination everyday.

Today, August 13th, is a special day when lefty's can get back at all their right handed family, friends, and colleagues by designating their personal space as a "LEFTY ZONE". 

They make up 7 to 10% of the world's population, and are forces to use right handed tools and products.
