Harrison Bergeron (where we are headed?)

In the year 2081, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic.

I love that story. Had it printed out somewhere.

Pretty sure my oldest daughter did a paper on the book in high school. Much to the displeasure of her Lit teacher.
