Yeah, a Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. reference!

Another great Hoosier.

I was invited to join a committee planning our local "Human Rights Day" For my part, I organized a stage reading of "Harrison Bergeron."

Needless to say, they didn't invited me back the next year.

I was going to respond earlier to your post, but some bells went off in my head and the weights on my arms kept me from reaching the keyboard.

Excellent short story on what it means to be "equal". Vonnegut's best short story. He must have written it when he was younger and further from the left.
