Mosaic of diversity
Re: Ezra Levant’s Feb. 08, 2011 column.
Kurt Vonnegut’s sci-fi story Harrison Bergeron paints a world where
strict social equality has been achieved by handicapping the more
intelligent, athletic or attractive members of society. Strength is
handicapped by having to carry weights, beauty by wearing a mask, and
so on. With every sort of accommodation made by our institutions to
satisfy the demands of various groups, it won’t be long before Canada
is equally surreal. Another generation of appeasement and our mosaic of
diversity will be one where cultural anomie, or normlessness, is the
norm, where no one truly feels at home.
