Origin of Left and Right

I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the

"right" and Liberals are called the "left."

By chance SOMEONE stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right,

but the heart of the fool to the left."

Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)

Can't get any simpler than that.

End of lesson.
