LEFT-HANDED, EVIL OR GIFTED? WEIRD OR CREATIVE?

I am left-handed. Years ago I looked up the word sinister, from the French sinistre or LEFT-HANDED! That's right, the definition of left-handed comes from the French for evil. That did not do much to make me feel good.
In public schools, left-handers all had to deal with modern desks created for right-handed students. And we were taught to bat rightie, golf rightie and play tennis rightie. Wasn't being leftie ever going to be good? 
I am in good company because lots of famous people are left-handed. Here are a few:
