I received an email from a friend who lives back east today. Here's what he said:
I have often wondered why it is that the conservatives are called the “right” and the liberals are called the “left.” By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
“The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”
Just interesting and thought I would share.
