Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anyone 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."
Read it all in "Welcome to the Monkey House" by Vonnegut. He wrote the story in 1961. Prophetic.
A favorite, and something I just had in mind. The ultimate extension of some current thought. Well done.
