“Paging “ Harrison Bergeron” its your turn to play”

Anyone reading this thread, and my reply, should go here:

… to read the Kurt Vonnegut short story, “Harrison Bergeron”.

Won’t take but 15 minutes of your time.

I realize Mr. Vonnegut was a liberal, yet he “saw the future” on this one decades before it happened...

I think Vonnegut was more of the old school “ban the bomb” type liberal. Yes, he was liberal but not the uber moonbats we have now. BTW, in Harrison Bergeron, he also predicted feminist women with three names, “Diana Moon-Glampers” who was the “Handicapper General.”

Johnny Knoxville can be the Handicapper General.
