In Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" definition of equality is a few of their constitutional amendments that rendered every American equal, meaning that no one is stupider, uglier, weaker, or slower that anyone else. "Handicapper Teams" in place to ensure their 'special laws' of their own idea of equality are forcibly obeyed. Equality was a more complicated term then we all imagined. Dr. Hamon brought that issue to light on monday. He challenged us into using our noggins, raised some eyebrows and even got a bit exciting. We know in a general sense of what "equality" is.
