Why They're Called What They're Called

One of the smartest people I know sent this to me a while ago, and I thought it was worth posting:

Have you ever wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left"?

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."
 Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)

Brevity is the soul of wit, so keeping things brief is often the best.  But one could include the next verse also:
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.  Even as he walks along the road, the fool lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is."

There you have it.  It's Biblical.
