          What is equality? According to the story Harrison Bergeron equality means everybody is completely equal. Smart people have mental handicaps that don't allow them to think. Strong people have weights around their necks. Pretty people have ugly masks on.

          I think that equality is everybody getting the same opportunities and chances, whether you take that chance, or aren't up to the task is then your decision. Harrison Bergeron takes equality to the extreme, making the world a whole lot less productive. If smart people can't think, then nothing would ever change. I hope that this never happens to any civilization. If it does eventually happen then I hope I'm long dead before it does.
