Read this passage from "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut:
The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They
weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal
every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else.
Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody
was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality
was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to
the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents
of the United States Handicapper General.
