Harrison Bergeron, a short story by Kurt Vonnegut, has long been a favorite of mine. It was one of maybe about 2-3 things I read in college that actually stuck with me. Recently I stumbled across the story on-line, enjoyed it anew, and thought I would pass it along.
It reminds me very much of Obama and the other Socialists' goal of trickle-up poverty, making everyone equal by dragging everyone down rather than lifting everyone up. In Harrison Bergeron Vonnegut humorously and wickedly satirizes the eventual "unintended consequences" of affirmative action, equal opportunity, and all the other politically correct pogroms being forced down our throats. Enjoy!
