"So, what is your take on the lefties then ?"

Is this asked by a, of a, or about cockalorum? For me, ambivalent sums it up. When pushing pleasure buttons – your own or others' – taking sides and preferring the left or right hand makes very little difference.

My experience has been that evenhandedness is preferable. Ambidexterity is best. It helps prevent repetitive strain injuries.

Where did we come from?
Listening to some of our most privileged, or self made millionaires, you'd be forgiven for believing they were born in the log cabin they created with their own hands!?
Wealth, even extreme wealth, is the product of many hands and minds, not just one!
No man risking/using just his own money and endeavour, can create a multi billion dollar empire in a single lifetime!
As a former businessman, I can say, that my most valuable asset was my staff!
Good staff are the very lifeblood or any income earning enterprise!
Almost exclusively, the only business models that survived the last Great Depression, largely intact and economically well, were cooperatives!
Comparing business bankruptcies. Conventional corporations top the list, whereas, co-ops have little of any history of failure, unless unfairly targeted by right wing politicians, seeking to downsize the left wing support populations, who almost invariably, are part and parcel of caring and sharing cooperative capitalism?
We really do need to reverse recent trends, towards foreign carpet bagging ownership, and back onto cooperative capitalism, which has room for the entrepreneurial innovator; or, family run enterprise and the individual.
Regardless of our political affiliations, we do need to refocus on Australia, Australians and putting our own people first!
By investing in our own people and their better ideas, rather than the whims of debt laden, tax avoiding, asset stripping foreign investors, who invariably ask Australia and Australians to carry the can, service their debt burdens and foreign shareholders' ever increasing expectations.
Only those blinkered by seriously flawed, or extreme right or left wing ideologies, would ever believe we needed that example of banana republic, rust belt creating, foreign capital?
Rhrosty.

taking sides and preferring the left or right hand makes very little difference.
WM Trevor,
that's ambivalent alright. In fact I think it's just plain pointless. If it is still not obvious to some that the Left simply can not govern & the Right at least has a track record of getting a few things right then the remarks of those who fail to see are, as I said, pointless.
However, they're not irrelevant because the can not see sense make up more than half of the electorate.

Ever noticed a vivid imagination and a sense of humour tend to go hand in hand?
But rarely from left hand to right hand.
Keep the good work up, WmTrevor, -for as long as is comfortable.
