It is not FAIR that Yo Yo Ma and the group Pink Floyd have more musical talent than I.
That my wife, kids and Hiyao Miyazaki have more artistic talent than I is an affront to my sensibilities.
Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson know more about science than I can possibly imagine. The inequity cannot be borne.
T.S.Eliot and Tom Clancy are better writers than ever I will be. This is intolerable!
I DEMAND that all this talent and knowledge be divvied up equally among us all, so that we may all be equally mediocre.
It's only fair.
Now: a No-Prize to the one wot reveals what punched my annoyance button.

Actually, I had never read "Harrison Bergeron", nor seen the film(s). (Thanks for the URLs !) There is a thing, a topic that gets whinged about a lot, and it spawned my little bleat.
