I have a modest proposal: all members of society should be fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. To enforce equality laws, citizens should 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.

This was a sci-fi short story that came out about 50 years ago.

Yes, Harrison Bergeron. I view it as more of a recipe than a cautionary tale, don't you think?

Never thought of it that way.
