Isn't this the moral of the (IMO) very conservative "The Incredibles"?

When everyone becomes special then no one is.

"Meaningless gibberish to reward medeocrity?" I think was the line I enjoyed the most in that movie. When Bob stared up wide eyed at the "Wall O' Newstories" about his past, it summed up everything I have ever felt about America in the Clinton years; "We are glorious, we are great, we have saved the world, and some b@stards out there want to hobble our glory, our greatness, just to make the nations and people and pinheads out there feel a little bit better about being under-achievers." Bob has W's well-deserved swagger when talking about things he knows to be true. Gulliver tied down by Lilliputions.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this. That is what communism is all about - except the "pigs will be more equal."

Absolutely LOVED "The Incredibles" and so do my kids. My 6yr-old has commented on that line when Syndrome says that once everyone is special, than no one will be. He said it did not make any sense, but I have tried to explain to him that it makes perfect sense.

And of this Rush song, which I always think of whenever anyone mentions 'Harrison Bergeron'.

I have to wonder how much of this ... is the educrats projecting their own incompetence and insecurities on the 'poor children'. I survived bad grades when I was a kid. I doubt I was the only one.

As for Rush, I thought "Something for Nothing" on 2112 said it all. That and "Anthem". "Begging hands and bleeding hearts always cry out for more..."

Too bad they turned into libs.
