Check out this adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron.” This is the world of ultimate PC expression. Awesome commentary and criticism [par for the course for Vonnegut], though I can’t see how a short story of just a few pages can be turned into a feature-length movie without some serious alteration to the story line, as happened in the 1995 TV movie adaptation.
I hope this movie serves as a cautionary tale to all of the small-minded people who think that “equality” is the geatest, most worthy goal of all human endeavor. Equal opportunity — not government-enforced, but simply people truly judging others each on his own merit — and equal treatment under the law <i>are</i> worthy, moral and proper goals, but equality of outcome is something altogether different: as assinine as it is impossible to acheive.
