Harrison social insights

There are many insights we can learn regarding both society and humans in Vonnegut's short story and the movie. One of the most prominent and obvious themes is that complete equality in a society is not only impossible, but also impractical as well. You can tell that in this particular attempt at equality that they did not achieve equality at all; the handicap general has much more power than the "average" person, to name but one example. Vonnegut also cleverly incorporates that while some people do excel in areas over others, it is neceassry to have a progressive, unique, and wonderful society that we have today.
